Vermont – Frost coats rooftops and crunches underfoot across Burlington this morning, with temperatures in the low 20s delivering a sharp, late-March chill. The air feels still and cold, but change is already building.
According to the National Weather Service, skies turn partly sunny with highs reaching 46°F today. Light southwest winds begin shifting the pattern, setting up a steady warm-up into the first week of April.
Across northern Vermont, conditions stay quiet into early Monday. Highs climb to 58°F with a mix of sun and clouds. Travel along I-89 and Route 7 remains smooth through most of the day.
By Monday night, the first signs of a wetter pattern arrive. A 30% chance of showers develops after evening hours, leading to damp roads in spots. Keep headlights on and allow extra time if traveling late.
Tuesday brings the biggest impact. Rain becomes widespread, with an 80% chance during the day and increasing to 90% by Tuesday night. Periods of steady rain could reduce visibility and create ponding on roads, especially in low-lying areas.
By Wednesday, showers continue with a 40% chance and highs near 56°F. Cooler air filters in late, and temperatures drop back toward the mid-20s by night. That raises concern for refreezing on untreated surfaces.
This is a classic early spring setup. Warm air surges in, followed by soaking rain and a late chill that can create slick spots.
Five Day Outlook for Burlington, VT:
Sunday: Partly sunny, high near 46°F
Monday: Partly sunny, high near 58°F
Tuesday: Showers likely, high near 56°F
