Burlington, VT – A streak of cool, wet weather will hang over Vermont through at least Saturday, with daily highs stuck in the 40s and 50s and widespread showers expected to end the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, isolated showers today and Wednesday may give some areas brief dry windows. But starting Thursday, more persistent rain is forecast across northern and central Vermont, lasting into Friday and likely extending into Saturday.
Cities like Montpelier, Rutland, and Saint Johnsbury will see temperatures hover in the low 50s through the day, while mountain towns like Tupper Lake and Schroon Lake may not break 45°F at times. Higher elevations above 3,000 feet could see light snow accumulation late Thursday into Friday, especially around the Green and Adirondack mountains.
Travelers should plan for wet roads and pack layers for any outdoor plans. Mountain hikers should be aware of possible icy conditions at elevation.
With temperatures running 10–15 degrees below average for late May, Vermonters can expect lingering damp conditions into the weekend. Further alerts are possible as the system evolves.
