Current Weather Overview for Barre, VT 05641
The winter pattern continues to hold firm over central Vermont, with Barre under predominantly cloudy skies and seasonably cold temperatures. While no major winter storm is expected today, subtle shifts in cloud cover, wind, and overnight moisture will shape local conditions, especially for those traveling or planning outdoor activities.
Daytime Conditions: Overcast Skies and Light Snow Chances
For much of the day, skies over Barre will remain overcast, limiting sunshine and reinforcing the cold feel of the air. The forecast calls for a daytime high near 26°F, which is typical for late December in this part of Vermont.
With cloud cover in place, the temperature is not expected to fluctuate dramatically during the afternoon. A few flurries or snow showers are possible during the day.
These will likely be spotty and light, with minimal impact on visibility or road conditions. However, brief passing snow showers can still create slick spots, especially on untreated surfaces and secondary roads.
Winds will be out of the northwest at 10 to 15 mph. This wind will add a noticeable chill to the air, lowering the perceived temperature (wind chill) and making it feel colder than the actual air temperature suggests.
Evening and Overnight: Increasing Snow Shower Potential
Cloudy conditions are expected to continue into the night, preventing radiational cooling from significantly dropping temperatures early in the evening. Later in the night, the pattern shifts slightly, with atmospheric moisture and weak disturbances supporting the development of snow showers.
Overnight lows are forecast to fall to around 18°F, with light and variable winds replacing the more persistent northwest flow seen during the day. This decrease in wind speed will slightly reduce the wind chill effect compared to the daytime.
Snow Accumulation and Travel Impacts
There is a 50 percent chance of snow overnight, meaning that snow showers are as likely as they are unlikely to occur at any given location around Barre. When snow does fall, accumulations are expected to be light—less than one inch in total.
Even minor accumulations can have localized effects. Residents and travelers should be aware of:
Widespread travel disruptions are unlikely, but early morning commuters should allow a bit of extra time and use caution, especially on rural or less frequently maintained routes.
