Burlington, Vermont – A dry stretch of midweek sunshine in Vermont will give way to increasing clouds and a sharp shift in weather by Friday night, as Burlington braces for heavy showers and gusty winds that could impact weekend travel on I-89 and I-189.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, winds will increase this evening with gusts up to 17 mph and highs near 59°F. A calm, clear night follows before temps climb again Thursday to 64°F with light winds. But a strong change arrives late Friday, with an 80% chance of showers after 8 p.m. and wind gusts up to 18 mph along Lake Champlain and regional highways.
Travelers and weekend planners should stay alert. Saturday will see continued rain—mainly after 2 p.m.—with a second round of strong winds out of the northwest. Outdoor spring events and commutes may be affected, especially in lower elevation areas prone to ponding. Avoid parking near storm drains and secure loose outdoor items.
