BURLINGTON, VT – A mix of rain and snow showers is anticipated to hit the Burlington area today as temperatures drop sharply due to an approaching cold front. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington has forecasted a high near 50 degrees, but colder conditions are expected by late afternoon and evening. Residents should prepare for potential slick roads, especially on Route 7 and surrounding roadways, as scattered precipitation moves through the region.

According to the NWS, there is a 30% chance of rain showers today, with the possibility of transitioning to snow after dark. Although significant accumulation is not expected, drivers should exercise caution during the evening commute as the ground might see its first light dusting of snow. This sudden shift marks an early taste of winter weather for lower-elevation areas around Burlington.

The rest of the week promises varied conditions. Monday will bring clear skies with highs around 44 degrees, offering a brief respite before another wave of precipitation moves in. Tuesday will warm slightly, reaching 57 degrees, accompanied by increasing cloud cover and gusty winds of up to 25 mph. Rain is likely Tuesday night, with possible snow showers once again during the early hours of Wednesday.

By midweek, Burlington can expect another cold front with a high near 68 degrees on Wednesday, though nighttime temperatures will fall into the mid-50s. Thursday rounds out the forecast with partly sunny skies and highs in the low 70s, though another chance of rain showers looms in the afternoon.
