Burlington, Vermont – A soggy Friday morning could slow Burlington commuters and outdoor plans before Vermont’s summer weather makes a swift comeback just in time for the weekend. Scattered showers will linger through noon on July 18th, keeping roads like I-89 damp and potentially slick during the morning rush. Motorists should allow extra time, use headlights, and avoid sudden stops on wet pavement.
According to the National Weather Service, Burlington will see showers taper off before noon Friday, followed by clearing skies and a high near 78°F. Winds from the north at 8 to 15 mph will help dry things out. No severe weather is expected, but the rain could lead to puddling on roads and reduced visibility early.
By Friday afternoon, expect conditions to improve quickly, with sunshine returning just in time for evening events or late-day errands. Saturday brings mostly sunny skies and warmer highs near 83°F—perfect for heading out to Lake Champlain or enjoying local parks. Showers may return late Saturday night, but the bulk of the weekend will be dry and pleasant.
Sunday features a slight chance of early showers before turning partly sunny and cooler, with highs around 80°F. Into next week, Burlington will see a stretch of mild summer days, mostly sunny skies, and highs in the low to mid-80s.
