Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
156 PM EDT Tue Jul 29 2025

...Scattered Showers and Thunderstorms Expected on Wednesday...

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday
across the region, but the probability of a widespread
wetting rainfall is low. Precipitation amounts will be highly
depend upon areas that get impacted by a shower or thunderstorm
with the greatest potential for measurable precipitation across
central and northern Vermont. Additional showers are possible
mainly south of Route 4 late Thursday into Thursday night, but
axis of heaviest moisture looks to remain south of our area.
A large area of high pressure builds into our region for late
week into the weekend with very dry conditions and mostly light
winds. Critical low minimal humidity values are possible each
afternoon over the upcoming weekend.
