Burlington Weather: Town-By-Town Weekend Snowfall Forecast As First Alert Weather Days Bring Snow And High Winds

burlington weather will see snow continuing this evening and into the overnight, with moderate-to-heavy rates at times and noteworthy accumulations outside the Champlain Valley. The additional snowfall is expected to provide a boost to area ski resorts after a stretch of mild temperatures and record warmth earlier in the week.

Burlington Weather: Weekend Snowfall And Ski Conditions

Snow is pushing through the region this evening and is forecast to continue into the overnight hours. Outside of the Champlain Valley accumulations are expected to be more significant, while the Champlain Valley itself will see lighter totals. The timing and persistence of the snow make this a helpful replenishment for ski areas that were impacted by recent unseasonably mild conditions and record warmth.

Mid‑Michigan First Alert Weather Day: Heavy Snow, High Winds Expected

A First Alert Weather Day is in place across mid‑Michigan as another round of winter weather moves through. The system will bring heavy snow, high winds, and rapidly deteriorating road conditions, particularly during the morning hours. Snow began early Friday morning in some areas and snowfall rates are expected to pick up quickly around 7: 00 am ET to 8: 00 am ET, with bursts reaching 1″ or more per hour.

During the late morning into the early afternoon, occasional rain may mix in near Flint and as far north as Clio and Mayville, but snow showers are expected to return and continue through dinnertime into the evening, with snow tapering off shortly after midnight. Most locations can expect roughly 2″ to 3″ of accumulation, while northern communities such as Houghton Lake, St. Helen, and West Branch could see totals exceeding 6″—with the heaviest snowfall falling during the morning period.

Wind is a major concern with this system. A High Wind Warning covers the southern half of the viewing area, with gusts potentially reaching 50 to 60 mph at their peak inside the warning counties. Strengthening gusts accompanying the morning snow—and another round of strong gusts around dinnertime and into the evening—will create blowing snow and reduced visibility, and will make travel particularly hazardous.

Conditions are expected to calm by Saturday, which will be mainly cloudy with highs near 36 degrees and lighter winds. Forecasters note another First Alert Weather Day is in place for Sunday, when snow will start and transition to freezing rain for a couple of hours during the late morning, followed by increasing rain Sunday night into Monday as temperatures warm, then a return to snow showers during Monday daytime hours.

Western New York: Gusts Ease Saturday Night But Snow Returns Sunday Morning

In western New York, winds are expected to diminish into Saturday evening, with overnight sustained winds holding between 5 to 10 mph out of the south/southeast. Saturday night looks fairly quiet with partly cloudy skies and low temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, and no snow is expected that evening.

Early Sunday morning, snow showers will move in ahead of a warm front. Areas will begin Sunday in the low 30s with snow, then changeover to partly cloudy skies and milder readings near the low 50s by the evening, though gusty winds will make conditions feel closer to the 40s. Current guidance keeps most locations green on the Threat Tracker with winds expected around 45-50 mph through Sunday evening; some spots in the northern Finger Lakes and west toward Genesee and Wyoming counties could see gusts above 50 mph. Wind potential will be reassessed early Sunday morning.

Scattered light rain will move in Sunday night with temperatures in the low 40s, and gusty winds are forecast to persist into Monday. Monday morning is expected to start very mild in the low 60s before a strong cold front moves in later in the morning, bringing rain showers and thunder midday that will transition to snow later Monday afternoon as temperatures fall into the low 30s by evening. Lake‑effect snow is expected to return Monday night into Tuesday, with wind gusts subsiding by Wednesday and more seasonable mid‑40s returning later in the week. A stationary front into the weekend could introduce a mix of precipitation types to the region at the start of the following week.

Across these neighboring regions, the combination of accumulating snow and strong gusts makes travel and outdoor plans sensitive to timing. Forecast updates and any changes to wind or snowfall expectations will be reviewed as the systems evolve.
