Live closure and delay odds for Cleveland Metropolitan School District in Cleveland, OH, based on the latest hourly forecast for the city. Use your own ZIP code for a neighborhood-level forecast.
Winter weather in Cleveland
Cleveland is at the western edge of the Lake Erie snowbelt. The city's east side and the eastern suburbs typically get considerably more lake-effect snow than the west side and the airport, so a citywide forecast can understate what some neighborhoods see.
Lake-effect bands, wind-whipped snow along the shore and cold snaps are the main closure drivers. Search with a ZIP code from your side of town for the most relevant forecast point.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cleveland Metropolitan School District closed tomorrow?
SnowCall cannot tell you whether school is closed — only the district can. The estimate above is a forecast-based probability. For official closures and delays, check clevelandmetroschools.org, the district's alert system, or local news.
How much snow does it take to close Cleveland Metropolitan School District?
There is no published snowfall number. The model treats Cleveland as a "regular snow" area, where about 5" of overnight snow, 0.1" of ice, or a morning wind chill near -15°F makes a closure roughly a coin flip. Timing, temperature and wind can move that a lot.
Where does this forecast come from?
Hourly data from Open-Meteo for Cleveland (41.50, -81.69), four global weather models, and the National Weather Service's gridded snow and ice forecast and alerts.
