Vermont – A brisk wind cuts across Lake Champlain this morning, pushing low clouds over Burlington and rattling signs along I-89. A few light showers are drifting through early, leaving damp pavement and quick changes in visibility for drivers.
According to the National Weather Service, a 20% chance of showers lingers through mid-morning, with winds from the south at 10 to 13 mph and gusts reaching 30 mph. Those gusts are the bigger story, especially on open stretches near the lake where crosswinds can nudge vehicles.
Temperatures climb to just 50°F this afternoon, keeping the air cool and slightly raw. Roads should dry out later in the day, but wind remains a factor through early evening. If you’re traveling, keep both hands on the wheel and allow extra space on bridges.
Clouds hang on into tonight, with lows dropping to 38°F. That sets up a colder turn by Thursday night, when temperatures fall to around 31°F. Any leftover moisture could refreeze on untreated surfaces—watch for slick spots early the next morning, especially on elevated roads.
A gradual improvement arrives late week. Thursday brings more sunshine with highs near 52°F, followed by clear, crisp nights. Friday stays sunny but cool near 51°F.
The weekend offers a better spring feel. Saturday reaches 57°F with mostly sunny skies, and Sunday follows with highs near 56°F. Conditions stay quiet, making it the best window for outdoor plans.
