Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
213 PM EDT Sat Aug 9 2025

...Hot and Dry into the Middle of Next Week...

.DISCUSSION...
Heat will build under high pressure Sunday through Tuesday with
Tuesday being the warmest day. Conditions will remain dry outside
of some low chances of showers and a rare afternoon thunderstorm
mainly over higher terrain. Otherwise, winds remain generally
light with daily RH minimums ranging 35-50% and decent overnight
recoveries. While fuels remain receptive to ignition, lighter
winds and RH recoveries will sharply limit spread rates should a
fire get going.
