Baltimore City Public Schools Snow Day Predictor

Baltimore City Public Schools announces closings we aim for 5:00 a.m., or earlier if conditions allow, by its own published protocol.

By the district app, text message, phone call, email, the district website, local TV and social media, and on the district’s own closings page.

3 for the 2026 to 2027 school year, listed on the calendar as “Inclement Weather Recovery Days”.

It can. Baltimore City Public Schools has virtual learning days in its winter plan. When a closing gets likely, the morning here reads "Snow day or remote day".

2 hours: on a delay morning every school starts that much later.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Baltimore through the night and the 5 to 8 am bus run, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against Baltimore City Public Schools’s own big snow morning: 3.7 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 3.6 miles away.

Maryland requires at least 180 school days and 1,080 hours within 10 months, with days of at least 3 hours. On a county board's application showing it tried to comply, the State Board may shorten the year when severe weather or a disaster prevented normal attendance, without cutting state or local funding.
