Burlington, VT – A quick warmup is underway across Vermont today, with temperatures climbing into the 50s and nearing 60 degrees by Monday before rain begins to impact travel by Tuesday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, highs will reach the 40s Sunday with a slight chance of a passing sprinkle. Warmer air builds in Monday, pushing temperatures into the mid-50s to low 60s across much of the state, including Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland.
This early-week warmth will be short-lived. Rain chances increase late Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, bringing wet roads and reduced visibility during peak travel hours. Communities along Interstate 89 and U.S. Route 7 could see slick conditions, especially during the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning commutes.
Drivers should prepare for changing conditions by allowing extra travel time and checking for updated alerts before heading out midweek. While no major flooding is expected, periods of steady rain could create ponding on roadways and minor drainage issues.
Cooler air returns by midweek, dropping highs back into the 40s and 50s as the unsettled pattern settles in. Additional updates or advisories may be issued as rain timing becomes clearer.
