Burlington, Vermont – A quieter mid-February pattern is shaping up across Vermont and Massachusetts, with limited chances for rain or snow and temperatures trending close to seasonal averages through late week. While no major storms are expected, cooler air lingering across southern New England may keep conditions feeling more wintry at times.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the 6–10 day outlook favors near-normal precipitation across most of Vermont and Massachusetts, with no strong signals for widespread snow or soaking rain. Temperature probabilities also lean near normal overall, though the southern half of New England, including parts of Massachusetts, may periodically dip cooler than areas farther north.
In Vermont, cities like Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland are likely to see dry stretches broken only by spotty, light precipitation. Any snow that does develop would be brief and minor, limiting travel impacts on routes such as Interstate 89 and U.S. Route 7. Massachusetts remains largely quiet as well, with Boston, Worcester, and Springfield seeing low odds of measurable snow or rain during the period.
Farther south toward the Connecticut border, lingering cold air may keep nighttime temperatures below freezing, raising the risk for isolated slick spots during early morning hours. Drivers should remain alert, especially on untreated secondary roads.
This subdued pattern is expected to hold through Friday, though forecasters note that outlooks could shift if colder air presses farther north. Additional updates may be issued if precipitation chances increase later in the week.
