Vermont’s weather will start off cool and cloudy this morning, but expect sunshine to break through by midday. High temperatures will range from the upper 70s in the northern part of the state to the upper 80s in the south.
Along with the rising temperatures, humidity levels will increase, especially in southern areas, where dewpoints will climb into the 60s.
Thunderstorms and Showers Likely This Afternoon
The National Weather Service in Burlington predicts that while the weather will remain comfortable for much of the day, there will be a chance for isolated showers or thunderstorms, particularly in southern Vermont later this afternoon.
Locations like Rutland, Brattleboro, and Bennington may experience brief, localized downpours along with gusty winds. While no widespread severe weather is expected, these isolated storms could create slick roads and reduced visibility.
Temperatures in Montpelier and St. Albans are expected to top out near 80°F, while southern areas like Brattleboro and Springfield may see highs approaching the upper 80s.
Preparing for Changing Weather Conditions
If you’re planning to be outdoors, be prepared for rapidly changing weather. Bring water to stay hydrated, check for weather updates, and move indoors if you hear thunder. It’s essential to stay informed about weather alerts and exercise caution if storms develop.
Looking Ahead: Cooler, Drier Air Tonight
As the day ends, cooler and drier air will move in, bringing more sunshine and mild weather for Wednesday. The weather will be more comfortable tomorrow, with plenty of sunshine expected to continue. However, if storms intensify later today, additional advisories may be issued.
Today’s weather in Vermont will be a mix of cloudy skies, sunshine, and possible thunderstorms, particularly in the south. Residents and travelers should be prepared for quick weather changes and monitor for any storm developments.
Keep safe by staying updated with weather alerts and taking necessary precautions in case of isolated storms.
