Burlington, Vt. – Rain will dominate much of Saturday across Vermont, with showers expected to linger through the evening before skies begin to clear. Temperatures will hover near 70 degrees, though patchy rain and damp roads could slow travel late in the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, rainfall totals may reach up to half an inch before tapering off tonight. A 30 percent chance of showers continues into Sunday morning, but skies should brighten by the afternoon, setting up a much drier stretch of weather.
South winds up to 8 mph will accompany clearing skies Sunday, while highs hold near 70. By Monday, residents across Chittenden County and the Champlain Valley can expect sunny skies and highs around 70, with calmer winds. Conditions will continue to warm through midweek, climbing into the mid-70s Tuesday and upper 70s by Wednesday.
