About this listen

 Good evening. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. That dusting of snow overnight left us with about four-tenths of an inch. It’s pretty, but watch your step on the porch — freezing drizzle has created some slick spots this morning. Temperatures are sitting in the mid-20s to around 30 degrees, so it feels like winter out there right now. In the next 24 hours. But the sun is about to rescue us. Expect it to break through by late morning. And once it does, we climb fast. Southern Vermont hits 42 degrees. Central Vermont warms to 47 — that's 20 degrees above normal for early March. Even the Northeast Kingdom gets in on the thaw, topping out at 44. With light winds, it's going to feel genuinely mild this afternoon. Tonight offers a treat if you're stepping out. Skies clear completely, letting the Full Moon light up the landscape. Lows dip to 26 in the south, 24 in central areas. And a chilly 20 up in the Northeast Kingdom. Thursday starts dry, but rain arrives during the afternoon. The real drama unfolds Thursday night into Friday morning. A messy mix of freezing rain, sleet. And snow sweeps through. Southern Vermont is right in the bullseye for the most ice, so the Friday morning commute could be tricky. Then comes the turnaround. Saturday surges into the low to mid-50s with rain showers. Sunday through Tuesday, we're looking at highs in the 50s, potentially hitting 60 by Tuesday. That's 15 to 20 degrees above normal. The snowpack is going to take a hit. And we'll be watching the rivers closely for potential ice jams. Enjoy today's quiet weather, folks. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
