Burlington, VT – After more than a week of steady precipitation, northern Vermont will finally catch a break in the weather today through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington. A seasonably cold but quiet stretch is expected, with temperatures running below normal and some locations poised to record their lowest readings of the season tonight and Wednesday night.
According to forecasters, only a few lingering snow showers are expected early this morning, mainly in higher elevations and areas southeast of Lake Ontario. Beyond that, high pressure takes control and brings several days of dry conditions across the region—including Burlington, St. Albans, Montpelier, Plattsburgh, and the Champlain Valley.
High temperatures today will remain on the colder side, with most communities topping out in the upper 20s to upper 30s. Similar temperatures are expected Wednesday and Thursday, with slight moderation by late week. Although this stretch will not feel as wintry as earlier in the week, daytime highs will stay below seasonal norms.
NWS notes that as winds diminish, nighttime temperatures could drop sharply depending on cloud cover. Lows tonight and Wednesday night are expected to fall into the upper teens and low-to-mid 20s across many areas—potentially marking the coldest readings of the season so far.
After nine consecutive days featuring at least a trace of precipitation in most locations, the break in active weather will offer improved travel conditions and a quieter pattern through Thursday.
Looking ahead, forecasters say another system may approach by the end of the week, though details remain uncertain.
