Burlington, VT – A widespread round of snow is set to move across Vermont late tonight, with the heaviest snowfall expected overnight into early Sunday morning, potentially impacting travel across northern and central parts of the state.
According to the US National Weather Service in Burlington, precipitation will begin as snow for most areas, moving from west to east later this evening. Snowfall rates are expected to increase overnight, creating slick roads and reduced visibility for late-night drivers and early Sunday commuters.
Forecasters say conditions will begin to shift by Sunday afternoon as warmer air pushes into the region. This transition will change snow over to a rain and snow mix, especially in lower elevations and valleys. By late Sunday afternoon and evening, some areas could see drizzle or freezing drizzle, increasing the risk of icy surfaces.
Temperatures are expected to climb through the day Sunday, contributing to the changeover but also creating uneven road conditions as melting and refreezing occur. Higher elevations may hold onto snow longer, while valleys see more mixed precipitation.
Drivers are urged to use caution, particularly overnight into early Sunday when snowfall is expected to be at its peak. Travel conditions may vary significantly depending on elevation and timing.
Residents should also prepare for changing conditions throughout the day Sunday, especially where freezing drizzle develops later in the evening.
