Vermont Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy & Showery Stroll

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.
