Burlington, VT – A powerful nor’easter is expected to move along the East Coast Sunday through Monday, bringing significant snow and wind to southern and eastern New England — with Vermont watching closely for possible changes in the storm’s track.
According to the US National Weather Service in Burlington, the heaviest impacts are currently forecast to stay south of northern New York and most of Vermont. However, forecasters warn that a slight northward shift in the storm’s track could bring accumulating snow farther into the region, particularly southern Vermont.
Current projections show the greatest chance for at least 4 inches of snow across southern New England, including parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Northern and central Vermont remain on the northern edge of the snowfall gradient, meaning totals could vary significantly depending on how the system tracks.
Winter Storm Warnings and Blizzard Warnings have been issued across portions of southern New England, while much of Vermont remains outside the most significant alert zones for now.
The storm is expected to intensify offshore Sunday before gradually pulling away Monday. Gusty winds and coastal flooding are possible in eastern areas closer to the Atlantic.
Travelers heading south or east this weekend should prepare for hazardous road conditions and potential delays, especially Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.
Forecasters stress that snowfall amounts remain uncertain and residents should monitor updates through the weekend.
