Burlington, VT – Snow squalls and colder-than-usual temperatures are expected to sweep across northern Vermont beginning Monday night, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions through Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, a cold front and upper-level disturbance will bring snow showers and gusty winds late Monday evening into early Tuesday. The heaviest impacts are forecast in northern areas and mountain regions, where snow accumulation is most likely. Temperatures will fall steadily Monday night, with lows dipping into the upper 20s and wind chills even lower.
Snow probabilities climb to 60–80% for areas including Island Pond, Lake Placid, and Montpelier from Monday at 6 p.m. through Tuesday morning. The squalls may reduce visibility quickly, particularly during Tuesday’s morning commute.
Tuesday will remain cold and breezy across much of the state, with highs struggling to reach the low 30s in several regions. These conditions mark a significant shift from seasonable spring weather experienced over the weekend.
Residents should prepare for slick roads and limited visibility in higher elevations. The National Weather Service advises travelers to monitor updates and allow extra time if driving early Tuesday. Snowfall should taper off by Tuesday night, but below-average temperatures are expected to persist into midweek.
