Burlington, VT – Widespread rain showers are sweeping across Vermont’s North Country this morning, with a near 100% chance of rain expected until mid-day. This weather system will likely affect morning commuters, and drivers should be prepared for wet, slick roads. As the day progresses, partial clearing is possible, but the threat of isolated thunderstorms will remain high in central and south-central areas of the state.
According to the National Weather Service, periods of showers will continue this morning, transitioning to isolated thunderstorms later in the day, especially in central and southern Vermont. These thunderstorms could bring brief, intense downpours. High temperatures today are expected to reach the mid to upper 60s in Vermont, with the northern regions of New York also experiencing temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
For those planning to travel, it’s crucial to be aware of rapidly changing conditions, particularly if driving in areas prone to thunderstorms. The rain will taper off by afternoon in most places, but isolated storms could still pose a risk, especially for those in the more central areas.
Stay alert for weather updates, as conditions may change rapidly. Thunderstorm activity could increase as the afternoon unfolds, with rain chances decreasing toward the evening.
