The Brattleboro Emergency Management group is watching two storms this week that could impact our area. On Tuesday evening into midday Wednesday, the National Weather Service is forecasting snow followed by 1.5 to 2 inches of rainfall with temperatures in the 40s and gusty winds.
Expect hazardous travel conditions, with icing on roads and then minor flooding along waterways. High winds are in the forecast with gusts at 40 to 50 mph, which could result in downed power lines and power outages.
Please prepare for:
Hazardous travel and some sporadic road closures
Power outages
Flooding with the potential for evacuations
From Friday into Saturday, there is potential for another storm with similar characteristics. We will be monitoring that storm closely.
Town staff, including the Brattleboro Fire Department, the Department of Public Works, the Brattleboro Police Department, and the Town Manager’s Office, will be planning and coordinating with our partners at Green Mountain Power, the National Weather Service, and Vermont Emergency Management throughout the storms.
We will continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates as new information is gathered. Visit Brattleboro.gov for updates.
