Burlington, VT – Motorists traveling on I-87 in northern New York this morning should prepare for possible delays as light showers move through the region. Though Vermont is expected to remain largely dry, travelers crossing into New York may encounter slick roads during peak commute hours.
According to the National Weather Service, the showers will gradually dissipate as they move eastward, with New York seeing the bulk of the rain before it clears by mid-afternoon. Vermont’s northern areas will experience minimal impact, with only a 5-15% chance of rain throughout the day.
Drivers on I-87 are encouraged to monitor road conditions and allow extra travel time, as the rain could reduce visibility and lead to slippery patches. The wet weather may briefly extend into early afternoon, but conditions should improve by evening, with dry skies expected through Thursday.
For the remainder of the week, Vermont can expect mild and dry weather, with highs reaching the low 70s by Friday. Travelers should stay updated on local forecasts and adjust their plans as necessary to avoid potential weather-related delays on I-87.
