Burlington, VT – Drivers across Vermont should prepare for challenging conditions Monday morning as snow showers and freezing drizzle persist. Temperatures will gradually rise above freezing by midday, easing the risk of icy roads but creating messy travel conditions through the early hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, widespread light snow will taper off this morning, with patchy freezing drizzle possible in higher terrain. Commuters should exercise caution, particularly on secondary roads and highways such as Interstate 89 and Route 7, where slippery conditions are likely. Snow accumulation is expected to be less than half an inch, but freezing drizzle could still make roadways hazardous.
Looking ahead, Monday evening will bring a mix of rain and snow, with heavier precipitation expected overnight into Tuesday. Northeastern winds may gust up to 23 mph. By midweek, temperatures are forecast to climb into the low 40s, turning snow into rain, creating potential for localized flooding in low-lying areas.
The five-day forecast indicates fluctuating conditions throughout the week. Tuesday will see steady rain, with snow chances increasing late Wednesday night into Thursday. Drivers should stay alert for updates and monitor local road conditions, especially during peak commuting hours.
Residents are encouraged to prepare for winter weather by ensuring vehicles are equipped with snow tires and emergency kits. For real-time updates, visit the National Weather Service’s Burlington office page or tune in to local traffic reports.
