How this prediction is calculated

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 Yukon Education Schools before acting on it.
