Burlington, Vt. – Vermont is split by two very different weather patterns this Wednesday, with drizzle and cooler air holding in the south while sunshine spreads near the Canadian border.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, clouds and light rain will persist this afternoon across south-central Vermont and into the southern Adirondacks. Temperatures in these areas are struggling to climb out of the 50s, keeping conditions damp and raw. Farther north, however, skies are beginning to clear, allowing sunshine to boost temperatures into the upper 60s and low 70s.
Drivers along Interstate 89 south of Montpelier and travelers near Rutland should expect reduced visibility in showers and patchy drizzle through the evening. Meanwhile, residents in Burlington, St. Albans, and areas along the International Border will enjoy a more comfortable afternoon with brighter skies and milder air.
The NWS notes partial clearing will continue to expand north to south later today, though clouds may linger in valleys overnight. Commuters are advised to watch for damp roads in southern counties into tonight, while northern areas remain dry.
More stable weather is expected Thursday, but unsettled conditions could return late in the week.
