Burlington, VT – Snow showers and bone-chilling temperatures are set to dominate Vermont’s weekend weather, with conditions likely to impact travel and outdoor plans. Residents should brace for subzero wind chills and slippery roads as snowfall intensifies across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, current apparent temperatures hover between 10 degrees and below zero. Saturday will bring a mix of light snow showers early, followed by heavier snow after sunset, particularly along the I-89 corridor. Blustery winds of 14-20 mph, with gusts up to 31 mph, will amplify the cold and create visibility issues. Travelers should use caution, especially in higher terrain areas prone to upslope snow showers.
Saturday night snow showers are expected to accumulate up to one inch in Burlington, with nearby areas possibly seeing slightly higher totals. Temperatures will peak at 27 degrees during the day but quickly drop to 23 degrees overnight. Sunday will offer brief respite with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 31 degrees, though snow will likely return Monday, followed by a mix of rain and snow Tuesday.
Local officials advise motorists to prepare for icy conditions, reduce speeds on bridges and overpasses, and pack emergency supplies, including blankets and water. Residents planning outdoor activities should dress in layers and limit time outside to avoid frostbite risks.
