Burlington, Vermont – Vermont wraps up the workweek with summer perfection, but weekend plans may need adjusting as a cold front threatens to shake things up. Saturday brings clear skies, light winds, and highs climbing into the low 90s across much of the state, ideal for outdoor activities from Lake Champlain to Montpelier.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, conditions will shift quickly on Sunday, with a 55–70% chance of showers and thunderstorms by afternoon. Temperatures will drop significantly, ranging from the low 70s to upper 80s before falling further behind the front. Winds will also shift, becoming northwesterly at 5 to 15 mph, helping usher in a cooler, less humid air mass.
Storm activity may cause disruptions to travel or outdoor events across northern counties like Franklin, Lamoille, and Essex. While a complete washout isn’t expected, residents should remain weather-aware Sunday and prepare for potential downpours or brief gusty winds.
Cooler conditions settle in through early next week, offering relief from recent heat. More advisories may be issued if storm intensity increases late Sunday.
