Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
246 PM EDT Tue May 6 2025

...No Fire Weather Concerns This Week...

.DISCUSSION...
An unsettled weather pattern will prevail into the upcoming
weekend with several periods of precipitation likely. Plenty
of clouds and below normal temperatures will result in
no critically dry conditions this week into the upcoming
weekend. The exact timing and areal coverage of rainfall is
challenging, but confidence is increasing for a widespread
wetting rainfall again on Friday into Saturday across most
of Vermont with lower confidence in northern New York.
Drier weather with near normal temperatures
return for Sunday.
