Burlington, VT – A mix of winter and early spring weather will impact Vermont this week, with snow expected Sunday before rain moves in midweek. Travelers should prepare for slippery roads and reduced visibility as snowfall accumulates before temperatures rise, causing potential melting concerns.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will spread across northern Vermont and upstate New York on Sunday, March 2, bringing 1 to 4 inches of accumulation. The snowfall is expected to be heaviest in the early morning hours before tapering off later in the day.
By Monday, March 3, temperatures will rise into the 40s, shifting conditions from snow to rain. Showers are likely throughout the first half of the week, with heavier rain possible by midweek, increasing the risk of rapid snowmelt and localized flooding.
Drivers on Interstate 89 and U.S. Route 2 should exercise caution, as wet roads and melting snow could lead to slick conditions. The National Weather Service advises residents to monitor forecasts for potential flood watches as warmer temperatures continue into the week.
Looking ahead, Vermont’s five-day forecast includes mild temperatures and occasional rain showers. Highs will remain in the 40s through Thursday, with overnight lows hovering around freezing. Another round of precipitation is possible by the weekend.
Residents should prepare for changing conditions and stay updated on weather alerts as Vermont transitions from winter to early spring.
