Burlington, VT – Freezing rain is forecast across parts of Vermont on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., potentially creating hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Windsor and Orange counties face the highest risk for freezing rain accumulation. Nearby areas, including Massena, NY, could also experience light ice glazes as rain moves out quickly.
Roads may become slick during this period, especially in untreated areas, prompting officials to urge caution for drivers. Travelers should allow extra time, maintain safe distances, and prepare for slower commutes.
The freezing rain is expected to taper off by early afternoon, reducing the immediate risk for icing. However, conditions may remain slippery into the evening.
Residents are advised to monitor updated forecasts and prepare for minor disruptions to weekend plans. Officials recommend keeping an emergency kit in vehicles and postponing non-essential travel if possible.
