Good morning. Vermont. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel it. 47 degrees right now. That's 16 degrees above normal for early March. The kind of mild morning that gets folks thinking about tapping maple trees. We picked up a bit of rain overnight. And a few lingering showers are wrapping up as we speak. Down south, those last showers clear out by 8 A.M., then partly sunny skies push in. Highs reach 45 degrees with breezy west winds gusting to 29 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 33 degrees under mostly clear skies. Central Vermont sees mostly sunny conditions after early morning clouds. You'll hit 54 degrees with lighter southwest winds around 6 miles an hour. Tonight falls to 35 degrees. Up northeast, a slight chance of showers wraps up by 7 A.M., then partly sunny skies take over. Highs near 51 degrees with southwest winds around 6 miles an hour. Tonight dips to 29 degrees under mostly clear skies. Monday brings beautiful weather statewide. Mostly sunny skies with highs from 56 degrees south to 59 degrees central. Monday night stays mild, with lows in the low to mid 30s. Tuesday continues the spring preview with sunny skies and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Wednesday brings clouds and rain likely by afternoon as a warm front lifts north. Then the big story hits Thursday. A strong cold front crashes through with rain transitioning to snow and temperatures plummeting. We're talking a 30 degrees temperature drop from Wednesday to Thursday night. Friday and Saturday stay cold with highs in the mid to upper 30s and chances for snow showers. Enjoy the mild start while it lasts. See you this afternoon.
Good afternoon. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. We're waking up to a real April fool's joke in March. Burlington is already sitting at 49 degrees—nearly 20 degrees warmer than normal. But don't get too attached to that sunshine. A warm front stalled to our southwest is dragging in a whole lot of moisture, meaning our pleasant afternoon turns into a wet, windy night. Down in Southern Vermont, you're at 48 degrees under mostly sunny skies. But rain showers roll in after 8 PM. Here's the strange part: temperatures actually rise overnight, landing in the upper 40s by midnight. Winds gust out of the southwest up to 26 miles an hour, so secure those trash cans. Sunday dries out by 8 AM, leaving you with a blustery high near 47 degrees. Central Vermont is the warm spot today, hitting 56 degrees—that's a solid 18 degrees above normal. Rain arrives by 7 PM. And it gets dramatic. Gusts could hit 31 miles an hour tonight. Sunday clears out by afternoon with highs still pleasant at 54 degrees. Northeast Vermont tops out at 51 degrees. You'll see the heaviest rain overnight, with up to a quarter-inch falling after 7 PM. Temperatures hover in the low 40s overnight before clearing skies Sunday morning drop you to a crisp 28 degrees—perfect for watching the sunrise at 6:21 AM. Looking ahead, this warm spell hangs around. Monday and Tuesday bring upper 50s, maybe even low 60s. But keep an eye on the rivers—this warmth means rapid snowmelt. A midweek storm brings rain Wednesday into Thursday, possibly ending as snow in the mountains as temperatures crash back to the teens. It's wild to think that on this day in 2018, we were digging out from back-to-back nor'easters. Today? we're talking thunderstorms. Enjoy the spring preview, but maybe check your sump pump. See you tomorrow.
Good morning. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside today and you’ll feel something unusual for early March. Warmth. We’re talking highs soaring 18 degrees above normal, with some spots flirting with 60 degrees. But don't get too comfortable. This warmth is just a teaser. And by midweek, winter will remind us it’s not done yet. Southern Vermont wakes up to patchy fog and a mild 40 degrees. That fog burns off by mid-morning, leaving you with partly sunny skies and a high of 49. But tonight? Rain showers roll in after 7 PM, lingering through the night with a low of 40. Central Vermont is the warm spot today. You’ll start with a chance of light rain this morning—nothing heavy, just enough to dampen the roads. By afternoon, the sun breaks through, pushing temperatures to a balmy 56 degrees. That’s right, 56! But tonight, rain showers return. And you’ll wake up to a cooler Sunday with highs near 53. Northeast Vermont is playing catch-up. You’ll see rain likely this morning, tapering off by noon. Highs hit 51, but the real cooldown comes tonight, with lows dipping to 41. Sunday brings a mix of sun and clouds, but the warmth sticks around—highs near 50. Rain showers arrive statewide by 9 PM, peaking around 11 PM. Lows hover in the 40s for most, but the Northeast Kingdom drops to 41. By Sunday morning, the rain tapers off, leaving behind a cooler, drier day. This weekend’s warmth is a preview of what’s ahead. Monday and Tuesday will feel more like April, with highs in the 50s and even 60s in some spots. But by midweek, reality hits. A slow-moving cold front arrives Wednesday, bringing rain—and yes, eventually, snow. Highs on Thursday will struggle to reach 40. And by Friday, we’re back to the 30s. Winter isn’t giving up without a fight. For the maple syrup producers out there, this weekend’s warmth and overnight freezes are perfect for sap flow. But keep an eye on those buckets—rain tonight could make for a messy Sunday morning. On this day in 2018. Vermont was buried under over 4 feet of snow from back-to-back nor’easters. Today? We’re 18 degrees above normal. Classic March. Enjoy this weekend’s warmth. It’s a gift. But don’t put away the shovel just yet. Winter’s got one more act. See you this afternoon.

Down through the spine of the state in Montpelier and Barre, you’re sitting at 31 degrees now, but southerly winds are already pushing warmer air in. You’ll hit **56 degrees** today — 18 degrees above normal. That’s the kind of warmth that’ll have you shedding jackets by lunchtime, just keep an eye out for gusts hitting **30 miles an hour**. Down in Bennington and Brattleboro, you’ve got patchy fog and a slight chance of freezing rain early. You’ll top out at **49 degrees** — cooler than the spine of the state, but still 11 degrees warmer than usual. Rain showers move in after **9 P.M.** tonight, with lows holding steady in the 40s. Looking ahead, we’re flirting with **60 degrees** by Monday and Tuesday. That’s a full 20 degrees above normal.

See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
