Burlington, Vermont — Snow showers will continue across parts of northern Vermont through the morning hours Wednesday, with light accumulations possible before conditions gradually improve later in the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, the greatest chance for snow showers will remain across northern areas, including communities near the Canadian border. Any snowfall is expected to be light, with limited accumulation mainly on untreated surfaces. Elsewhere, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy as the day progresses.
Morning travel may be affected on some roadways, particularly along Interstate 89, U.S. Route 2, Route 7, and VT-105, where brief snow showers could reduce visibility and create slick spots. Bridges, overpasses, and higher elevations are most susceptible to minor travel issues during the early hours.
High temperatures Wednesday will range from the upper teens to upper 20s, keeping road surfaces cold even after snow showers taper. Winds will be west to northwest at 5 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, which may cause blowing snow in open areas and make conditions feel colder.
Communities including Burlington, St. Albans, Newport, Morrisville, and surrounding rural areas could see brief fluctuations in visibility as snow showers move through. While widespread travel disruptions are not expected, drivers are encouraged to remain alert during the morning commute.
As the day continues, snow showers will gradually diminish, leaving mostly cloudy skies into the afternoon. No additional accumulation is expected once showers end. Temperatures will remain below normal, and refreezing could occur late in the day where moisture lingers.
For commuters, students, and outdoor workers, the primary concern will be early-morning travel, particularly in northern counties and higher terrain. Slowing down, increasing following distance, and allowing extra travel time is advised.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from weather.gov/btv for any changes to snowfall coverage or timing.
