Regional Access: How to Check Your Local ABC7

Because ABC7 operates across different major cities, the best way to get accurate information is to visit the specific portal for your region:

Market	Primary Closing Page	Best Features
ABC7 Chicago (WLS)	abc7chicago.com/closings	Extensive list covering over 1,000 schools in IL and NW Indiana.
ABC7 New York (WABC)	abc7ny.com/weather/closings	Real-time updates for the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT).

3 Ways to Stay Informed

Don’t wait until you’re at the bus stop to find out classes are canceled. Use these tools:

The ABC7 News App: Available for iOS and Android. Go to Settings and enable “Weather Alerts” to get breaking news on district-wide closures pushed directly to your lock screen.
The On-Air Ticker: During morning broadcasts (typically starting at 4:30 AM), a crawl at the bottom of the screen lists participating schools in alphabetical order.
Social Media: Follow the local ABC7 weather team on X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook. Meteorologists often post “First Alert” closure summaries before the full list is even live on the website.

What to Look For

When searching the list, ensure you are checking the correct date (marked as “Today” or “Tomorrow”).

Pro Tip: In major cities like Chicago or New York, the public school system (CPS or NYC DOE) often makes a single announcement that covers hundreds of schools. If you don’t see your specific neighborhood school listed, check the “District-Wide” status at the top of the page.
