Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
326 AM EDT Sat May 17 2025

...Scattered Showers and Thunderstorms Continue...

.DISCUSSION...

Another day of showers and thunderstorms is expected across the
region, with no appreciable fire weather concerns given higher RH
values and precipitation. Winds will continue to be from the south,
generally 10 to 15 mph with locally higher gusts. Thunderstorms
will tend toward the wetter variety, so any lightning starts will
likely be put out by associated rainfall.
