Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
322 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

...No Fire Weather Concerns...

.DISCUSSION...
Cool and/or wet conditions will continue through the next week.
Today some light snow will spread from west to east producing
minor accumulations. Tonight into Monday morning precipitation
will become terrain-driven in northwesterly upslope flow
supporting more snowfall in the mountains. A warm front will bring
light rain late Tuesday and provide above normal temperatures
into Wednesday. Then a cold front will bring more showers on
Wednesday followed by cooler weather for Thanksgiving Day. Wind
gusts exceeding 25 MPH will be common late next week, but relative
humidity will remain moderate to high depending on precipitation,
as lake-effect and other terrain-influenced showers are possible.
