Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
223 PM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025

...Mainly Dry Through Wednesday, Widespread Showers Thursday...

.DISCUSSION...

After a cooler than normal day, temperatures will again trend
warm to hot through the rest of the next several days. With high
pressure in place centered just north of the area, very little
precipitation and light/terrain-driven winds are expected through
Wednesday, although an isolated shower or thunderstorm in eastern
Vermont and possibly over the higher terrain can be expected.
There will be widespread showers with a few thunderstorms
Thursday afternoon and evening, leading to high probabilities
(about 70 - 80%, except 45-60% in western portions of New York) of
a wetting rainfall.
