Burlington, VT – Spring may be here, but winter isn’t done with Vermont just yet. Burlington residents should prepare for a messy Monday morning commute as snow transitions into rain by midday, bringing slick roads and visibility issues.
According to the National Weather Service, Burlington will likely see snow beginning before 11 a.m. Monday, shifting to rain and snow showers into the afternoon. Temperatures will climb to 44°F, but wind gusts up to 29 mph from the south may cause reduced visibility along I-89 and local roads. New snow accumulation could reach up to half an inch.
Conditions ease slightly Monday night with a 40% chance of lingering showers. Tuesday through Friday stays mostly dry but cloudy, with highs ranging from 40°F to 44°F. Overnight lows will hover between 26°F and 33°F, keeping mornings chilly.
Wednesday offers a brief break in active weather, but a chance of rain and snow returns Thursday and Friday, potentially affecting evening commutes. Temperatures remain near seasonal averages for late March.
Drivers should allow extra travel time Monday morning, especially along I-89. Pedestrians and cyclists should also be cautious of wet, slushy sidewalks.
This week’s unsettled pattern underscores Vermont’s classic spring transition — part winter, part thaw. Residents are advised to check weather updates daily and dress in layers as conditions shift rapidly.
Plan ahead and stay alert as Burlington weathers a mixed bag of early spring elements through Friday.
