Burlington, VT – Snowfall and gusty winds are set to create hazardous travel conditions across Vermont today, particularly along Interstate 89 and I-91. The National Weather Service warns of up to 3 inches of additional snow accumulation by tonight, with localized blowing snow reducing visibility during both morning and evening commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, gusty south winds shifting to the northwest could reach 40 mph by this afternoon. These conditions will make travel challenging, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Motorists are urged to reduce speeds, maintain safe distances, and keep emergency supplies on hand.
Looking ahead, Friday offers a break with mostly sunny skies and highs near 25°F. However, blustery winds up to 23 mph will keep conditions chilly. Saturday remains clear but cold, with temperatures in the mid-20s, before snow chances return Sunday afternoon, potentially impacting weekend plans.
For those traveling this weekend, plan extra time and check road conditions, especially in higher elevations where icy patches are likely. Outdoor enthusiasts should also dress for freezing temperatures as wind chills will remain low.
By early next week, more significant precipitation could arrive, with a 50-70% chance of rain or snow Monday and Tuesday. These conditions emphasize the importance of staying updated on the latest weather forecasts.
