Severe Winter Weather Alert: Alberta Clipper to Bring Snow and Winds to Region
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Residents of the region should prepare for significant winter weather as an Alberta Clipper system is set to arrive Wednesday afternoon, bringing swift snow and gusty winds through early Friday. This fast-moving storm is expected to deliver dry, fluffy snow, which can accumulate rapidly and create hazardous travel conditions.
The forecast predicts widespread snow accumulation between 3 to 8 inches, particularly in elevated areas, where totals could reach up to a foot in the highest peaks of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains. Snow will begin Wednesday afternoon, with intensity increasing by evening, followed by the heaviest snowfall expected late Wednesday into early Thursday. Another wave of heavy snow is likely to hit late Thursday, interspersed with lighter periods throughout.
Wind will also play a significant role in impacting conditions. Southerly winds will sweep through the Champlain Valley on Wednesday, transitioning to widespread westerly winds by Thursday night into Friday. These gusts may lead to blowing snow, reduced visibility, and hazardous travel conditions. Power outages could also be a concern as the winds pick up.
