According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, a 20 percent chance of showers continues through late Sunday night with lows near 57. Commuters should use caution on wet pavement early Monday, especially in low-lying and shaded areas where roads may dry slower.
Monday brings a brighter start with highs near 74 under mostly sunny skies. Winds will stay light, making for a comfortable fall day across Chittenden and neighboring counties. Monday night dips to 51 with mostly clear skies.
By Tuesday, sunshine dominates with highs reaching 78. South winds increase slightly, signaling a shift toward warmer air. Wednesday marks the warmest day of the week with highs near 81, and Burlington could feel a late-summer surge before fall-like evenings return.
