This week is going to feel like we're on a temperature rollercoaster!

Today's highs reached the mid to upper 60s to the west of the mountains and even some low 70s in southern VT. But tomorrow's highs will only be getting up to the low 40s. Then overnight into Wednesday we'll see the coldest temps with lows only in the upper teens to low 20s. After that we have another system moving through Wednesday night into Thursday which will cause highs to rise into the mid-60s again! And then our highs will stay mild into the weekend in the mid to low 50s.

Power outages are steadily coming down this afternoon. There are still more than 4,000 customers without power.

The messy mix of the weekend is now done, but we'll hang onto the chance at a few showers and rumbles of thunder here for the day ahead.

Some ice accumulation from the weekend storm. Looking ahead, a messy mix is expected Wednesday night, but it won't be anything like the storm we've just had.

03/30/2025

No freezing rain to deal with on Monday, but a few strong thunderstorms can't be ruled out, mainly south. Also, a couple of rivers may produce minor flooding, depending on where the heavier rain sets up. We'll keep an eye on it.

Happy Spring!?! Susan Winsor from West Burke said she used this late March snow to make this cute snow Easter Bunny at the end of her driveway. 🐰⛄🐰

UPDATE: The First Alert Weather Day has been allowed to expire, as conditions will continue to improve during the day. Be aware, however, that light patchy freezing rain may persist east of the Green Mountains through the afternoon.

The First Alert Weather Day will be ending this morning, with freezing rain changing to showers during the day. However, patchy freezing rain may linger east of the Green Mountains into the afternoon, so keep that in mind if you're traveling.

Within the last hour, power outages have shot up by over 2,000 to over 10,000 customers out state wide.

Over 8,000 people waking up without power this morning. The bulk of the power outages are across Rutland and Windsor counties. Take it slow, roads could be icy, and remember never approach down power lines.

We saw a large spike in the power outage numbers just before midnight. There are currently over a thousand people without power, mostly across southern Vermont. We are expecting power outages to continue overnight.

Power Outage Reminder: Make sure your phone is charged and you have access to water and a flashlight to be prepared if your power goes out tonight. It's also a good idea to have multiple ways to get access to weather and safety information. We will continue updating you through the duration of the wintry weather on here, on our First Alert Weather App, and on channel 3.

The heaviest snow is done with this storm, but a light mix of sleet, freezing rain and rain will continue this afternoon south, spreading northward during the evening and continuing overnight. Ice accumulation and additional power outages are expected, especially in central areas. Freezing rain and patchy rain will change to plain showers on Sunday, though some freezing rain may persist east of the Green Mountains. -Dave Busch

It's a First Alert Weather Day. Though most of the snow portion of the storm is over, we'll still have a light mix of sleet, freezing rain and rain this afternoon and tonight, especially central and southern parts of the region. Ice accumulation and some power outages are possible.

Today is a First Alert Weather Day. Snow and the messy mix are moving into the region. In northern sections, the snow may come down at the rate of an inch per hour through mid-morning. I'll have the latest updates at 6 AM. -Dave Busch

Winter weather moves in from west to east this evening. Plan for widespread travel impacts overnight and early Saturday morning due to heavy snow in northern areas and a mix of snow and ice across central and southern Vermont.

A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the area shaded in red. Plan on difficult travel conditions, with periods of moderate to heavy snow. For more information, go to https://www.wcax.com/weather/.
