Burlington, VT – Vermont is set to experience a mix of winter weather on Thursday, with snow accumulation reaching up to 4 inches in most areas, while higher elevations could see up to 7 inches.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, snow will begin early Thursday morning and persist through much of the day. A brief transition to rain is likely in the afternoon before shifting back to snow Thursday night. The highest snowfall totals are expected in elevated areas, where accumulation could exceed 3 to 7 inches.
Travelers should prepare for slippery road conditions during the morning commute. The snow, combined with the potential for rain, could create slushy and hazardous surfaces. The Vermont Agency of Transportation advises drivers to reduce speed and allow extra travel time.
While no official weather advisories have been issued, residents should stay updated on potential changes to the forecast. Spotter reports are not required at this time, but officials encourage the public to remain cautious, especially in areas with higher snowfall amounts.
The system is expected to move out of the region by Friday, leading to improving conditions heading into the weekend. However, cooler temperatures may contribute to icy spots on roads and sidewalks. Residents should use caution when traveling in the aftermath of the storm
