Messy Mix of Snow, Freezing Rain, and Ice Expected This Weekend; “First Alert Weather Day” Declared
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Get ready for a messy weekend! WCAX has declared a “First Alert Weather Day” for Sunday as a winter storm system is expected to bring a mix of rain, freezing rain, and snow to Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York.
Winter weather advisories have already been issued for parts of the region, beginning as early as 4 p.m. Saturday in New York and 7 p.m. in Vermont and New Hampshire. These advisories remain in effect until Sunday morning, warning of potentially hazardous travel conditions.
The storm is expected to begin with rain and freezing rain moving into northern New York Saturday evening, spreading eastward into Vermont. Higher elevations are most likely to see initial snow or freezing rain, while the Champlain Valley could experience rain. Overnight, the precipitation will transition to rain for many areas, but by Sunday morning, a shift back to snow is anticipated. Lingering snow flurries are possible into Monday.
Icy conditions are a major concern. A glaze to a tenth of an inch of ice is possible across the region by Sunday morning. The Adirondacks, Green Mountains, and areas in north central and northeastern Vermont are particularly vulnerable to ice accumulation. Higher elevations could see significant snowfall, with mountain summits potentially receiving up to a foot of new snow, mid-slopes seeing 3-6 inches, and the Northeast Kingdom experiencing a widespread 1-3 inches, with some higher elevations seeing up to 6 inches.
“Untreated roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and walkways, and outdoor stairs could all be icy Sunday morning,” warns WCAX meteorologists.
Travel in the mountains, especially beginning Sunday afternoon, is expected to become hazardous due to snow-covered roads and reduced visibility. Even valley areas could see icy conditions as temperatures drop throughout Sunday, potentially freezing any wet surfaces.
Temperatures will be falling throughout Sunday, with the warmest part of the day expected around midnight. By afternoon, temperatures will remain in the 30s.
