Vermont residents should prepare for cool, damp weather today as temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-50s, with showers possible across the region. Local residents, especially those traveling along I-89, may experience varying rain intensity through the afternoon, so drivers should plan for slick roads and reduced visibility.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, a shortwave energy system moving through the area is likely to bring scattered showers. Winds from the southwest at 9-15 mph will add to the chilly conditions, with gusts creating a brisk atmosphere for anyone planning outdoor activities.
Tonight, temperatures will dip to around 33°F, with a slight chance of lingering showers, primarily before midnight. Sunday brings a continued chance of light rain, with temperatures hovering near 50°F, and a mix of rain and snow possible late Sunday night as temperatures drop further.
Looking into next week, Monday will start with sunshine but stay cool, with highs only reaching the mid-40s. Tuesday offers some warmth, hitting 57°F, before another rain chance arrives in the evening. The warmest day this week is expected Wednesday, with a high near 69°F and partly sunny skies, but gusty conditions are anticipated.
