BURLINGTON, Vt. – A crisp Vermont morning will give way to bright sunshine Tuesday as temperatures climb into the mid-70s across Burlington and the Champlain Valley. Drivers along Route 7 and I-89 should expect smooth travel conditions, though patchy early fog could slow commuters before clearing quickly.

Winds remain light, but gusts from the south up to 8 mph may develop. By Wednesday, highs near 77 signal a taste of early fall warmth before conditions ease slightly later in the week.
Travelers heading toward Montpelier, Middlebury, and northern Vermont towns can anticipate clear skies and safe roadways through midweek.
