FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL/NORTHERN VERMONT AND
NORTHERN NEW YORK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
120 PM EDT THU SEP 11 2025
..DRY CONDITIONS PERSIST
DISCUSSION
A DRY COLD FRONT IS MOVING SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS UP TO
20 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT WILL HAVE LITTLE, IF ANY,
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH IT, THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE
TO ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO STAY AT OR ABOVE 40 PERCENT THIS
AFTERNOON, EXCEPT IN PORTIONS OF THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY.
STILL, GIVEN ONGOING DROUGHT, FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE
THIS AFTERNOON.
FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, COOLER CONDITIONS RETURN TOMORROW.
THE DRIER AIR MASS WILL ALLOW DAYTIME HUMIDITY VALUES TO DROP
TOWARDS ABOUT 30-40 PERCENT. WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD, WINDS
ARE LIKELY TO BE LIGHT. EXPECT ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WITH MID 60S TO
LOWER 70S FOR HIGHS. SATURDAY SHOULD FEATURE A REBOUND OF RH
VALUES ONLY AS LOW AS 35-50% AND CHANCE OF MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION 10-30% IN NORTHERN NEW YORK AND THE GREEN MOUNTAINS.
THE NEXT 30%+ CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE
REMAINS UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SYSTEM, BUT IT
APPEARS LIKELY THAT WE DO NOT SEE APPRECIABLE RAIN FROM THIS
SYSTEM EITHER.
