Understanding School Status Results

Our tool provides three clear status indicators based on comprehensive weather analysis:

✅ LIKELY OPEN

⚠ POSSIBLE DELAY

Weather may cause delayed start times (1–2 hours) or early dismissals. Monitor official announcements.

Severe weather conditions suggest full school closures. Very high probability based on current conditions.
