Burlington, Vt. – Fog and light showers will greet Burlington Sunday morning, but conditions quickly improve as Vermont transitions into a sunny and drier pattern. The new workweek begins Monday, September 8, with clear skies and warming afternoons, continuing a trend of limited rainfall into mid-September.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are possible Sunday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., with highs near 70. Skies clear overnight, and Monday turns sunny with highs near 70 once again. By Tuesday, highs climb into the mid-70s, with mostly sunny conditions lasting through at least Thursday. NOAA’s 6–10 day precipitation outlook highlights Vermont as trending below normal for rainfall, suggesting the dry stretch will hold for days.
Travelers along I-89 and Route 7 should be cautious early Sunday morning, as dense fog reduces visibility to less than a quarter mile. By late morning, conditions improve dramatically, leaving clear skies and dry roads for commuters throughout the week.
The shift will provide excellent opportunities for outdoor plans, but farmers and gardeners may face challenges if rainfall stays limited through September. Drying soil and reduced streamflow could become concerns as the pattern lingers.
The National Weather Service expects mostly sunny skies to dominate the workweek, with no measurable rain in sight until at least late next weekend.
