Burlington Forecast: Gusty Winds Bring Fall Chill to Northern Vermont This Week

BURLINGTON, Vermont — Northern Vermont is waking up to a blast of fall-like weather as gusty winds sweep across the region Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington.

Gusty Winds Push Into Region

Forecasters say winds will strengthen through the morning, with widespread gusts between 15 and 20 mph. The Champlain Valley may see stronger bursts approaching 25 mph, ushering in cooler air that marks a sharp change from recent mild conditions.

Cooler Temperatures Settle In

Daytime highs are expected to stay in the mid to upper 60s, with only a few southern Vermont spots touching the low 70s. Overnight lows will dip further, making mornings feel especially brisk and autumnal.

The NWS notes that this cooler pattern will continue through at least Thursday, keeping the region locked into breezy, fall-like weather.

Early Taste of Autumn

Though no hazardous conditions are forecast, the combination of wind and cooler air will make temperatures feel colder than the thermometer shows. Outdoor workers and travelers near Lake Champlain are advised to be prepared for the chill.

The shift is a reminder that autumn weather is firmly settling in across Vermont, with the next few days offering a preview of what’s ahead for October.
