Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Burlington VT
717 AM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving front will continue to push across the region,
bringing cooler temperatures and additional changes for showers
today. The weather turns quieter later this week, with slightly
above average temperatures and occasional chances for showers and
thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 241 AM EDT Tuesday...Cloud and dreary conditions observed
across much of the region this morning, with few lingering showers
this morning as a slow moving frontal boundary continues to progress
across the region towards southern New England. Guidance continues
to support the idea that the main axis of precipitation will be
across southern New England for today, with a few showers and
thunderstorms possible throughout the day tomorrow across the
southern portions of the forecast area. Temperatures will be cooler
compared to previous days, with high temperatures generally climbing
into the upper 70s and lower 80s. Drier conditions will begin to
move in behind the front, with decreasing cloud cover towards the
afternoon. OVernight low temperatures will be fairly seasonably,
dropping into the upper 50s and 60s.

Another fairly seasonable day is expected for Wednesday, with
temperatures warming into the upper 70s to mid 80s. The first
portion of the day should be relatively dry, with increasing shower
chances towards the afternoon, although there is still plenty of
uncertainty regarding where exactly any showers will develop.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 241 AM EDT Tuesday...Shower chances will continue to increase
overnight Wednesday into the day Thursday as shortwave boundary
moves into the region, bringing increased chances for showers and
thunderstorms as it progresses through the region. Thursday is
looking to have the greatest chances for precipitation this week,
with NBM probabilities show about a 50% chance of rainfall amounts
of 0.25 inches or greater across much of the region. There is still
a lot of uncertainty as to the overall evolution of the shortwave
and how all of the ingredients come together for the possibility for
more organized convection so continue to monitor the forecast as we
get closer. High temperatures will continue to be seasonable, in the
upper 70s to mid 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 241 AM EDT Tuesday...Seasonal temperatures and occasional
chances for showers are expected for the later half of the week as
the region remains in westerly flow aloft with several embedded
shortwaves and boundaries passing through, although there is still
plenty of uncertainty regarding the overall timing of these
features. While several periods of showers will be possible, it
doesn`t look like any day will be a complete wash out at this time.
Temperatures will remain fairly seasonable, with highs generally in
the 80s and lows in the 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through 12Z Wednesday...A mix of flight conditions from MVFR to
LIFR due to low ceilings will persist through much of the
morning before beginning a slow trend to VFR after about noon.
By mid/late afternoon VFR will have developed and will continue
into this evening before low stratus and fog form towards
midnight. Winds will be from NW-NE from 4-8kts through the day
trending to light and variable after 00Z.
