Burlington, VT – A mix of snow showers, gusty winds, and fluctuating temperatures will define Vermont’s weather in the coming days. Residents are urged to prepare for changing road conditions and reduced visibility.

According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, light snow showers will continue intermittently throughout the weekend. A 20% chance of flurries will persist on Sunday, with highs near 35°F and south winds reaching 13 mph. Monday will remain cloudy with similar temperatures but lighter winds.

The week begins with snow and rain chances increasing late Tuesday into Wednesday. A stronger weather system may bring higher snow totals by midweek, impacting the morning commute along key roads such as I-89 and U.S. Route 2. Winds could gust up to 38 mph, creating hazardous conditions, especially in higher elevations.

For southeastern St. Lawrence County, NY, lake effect snow warnings remain in place through early Monday. Snow totals are expected to reach 24 inches south of Hammond, with localized areas near Watertown likely exceeding 40 inches. Motorists traveling along I-87 and state highways should exercise extreme caution due to near-zero visibility.

While snowfall across Vermont is forecast to remain light, travelers should monitor updates and prepare for icy patches, especially during early morning hours.
