Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
129 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

...Hot and Humid trend Continues...

.DISCUSSION...
Across New York and Vermont, many locations saw at least a tenth
of an inch of rainfall, with some locations seeing up to 1 to 2
inches, over the last 48 hours. Wet weather will be at bay
through mid week for the most part however. Mostly sunny
conditions will continue this afternoon, though wildfire smoke
from Canada will likely keep it hazy. Temperatures will climb in
the coming days, with afternoon highs generally in the upper 80s
to lower 90s. Wednesday should be the hottest day, with valley
locations reaching the mid 90s. Afternoon minimum relative
humidities will mainly range from 35 to 50 percent, with good
overnight recovery. Light and terrain driven winds today will
trend toward south for Wednesday. Given the expected very humid
air mass over the next several days, fire weather concerns are not
expected.
