Burlington, VT – Unsettled weather will continue across Vermont and northern New York through Tuesday night, bringing increasing rain chances, breezy conditions and the possibility of light snowfall across higher mountain elevations.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, rain showers and isolated summit level snow are possible over the next several days, with the greatest precipitation chances developing Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The forecast released Monday, Nov. 9, indicates that most communities will experience rain rather than snow, with temperatures remaining relatively mild for November.

Burlington's precipitation chances rise to approximately 60% during the afternoon, remaining elevated into the evening.
Newport could see rain probabilities reach 80% Tuesday evening, while Montpelier and Morristown may experience chances near 70%.
Across the Adirondacks, Lake Placid could see precipitation chances approaching 70%, with nearby higher elevations potentially experiencing snow.
Mountain Snow Possible, but Accumulation Limited The National Weather Service says some precipitation could fall as snow near mountain summits, particularly where temperatures are colder.
However, forecasters emphasized that snowfall amounts should remain minimal.
Most lower elevation communities, including Burlington, Montpelier and Plattsburgh, are expected to experience rain showers.
Daytime highs across the region will generally range from the mid 40s to mid 50s.
Breezy Winds Expected Tuesday Southwest winds are forecast to strengthen Tuesday afternoon, especially across exposed mountain locations and higher terrain.
