Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceNewcastle Elementary K-2 is a elementary school in Newcastle, Wyoming, part of Weston County School District #1. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Newcastle Elementary K-2 are almost always made at the district level. If Weston County School District #1 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Weston County School District #1 forecast).
Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.
Wyoming averages about 60 inches of snow per year. Wyoming schools close primarily for ground blizzards and extreme wind — high winds across open terrain create whiteout conditions even with modest snowfall.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Weston County School District #1 before acting on it.
