School closing chances are based on snow totals that are predicted for the communities around metro Detroit.
The map shows a 50% chance of school closings for the middle of our area. Northern areas - where 8" to 10" of snow are forecast - have a 70% chance. Areas to the south of Detroit have a 30% chance of a day off of school.
