Clear Skies Today with Rainy Weekend Ahead

Good morning, Bennington! Today brings mainly clear skies with a current temperature of 63°F. However, as we look ahead to the weekend, expect a shift in conditions with dense drizzle forecasted for Saturday.

For those commuting along US-7, VT-9, and VT-279, today should be relatively smooth with no significant weather impacts. Just be aware of the potential for wet roads as we approach the weekend.

Weekend Forecast

On Saturday, temperatures will reach a high of around 72°F with a low of 57°F. Expect dense drizzle throughout the day, with a precipitation chance of 79%. Winds may pick up to 15.5 mph, so secure any outdoor items if you’re planning to be outside.

Sunday will see slightly warmer temperatures, peaking at 73°F and a low of 51°F, but the skies will remain overcast with no expected precipitation. This could be a good day for indoor activities or planning for the week ahead.

Outdoor Activities

For those looking to hike around Mount Anthony or explore the Green Mountain National Forest, today is the best day this weekend for outdoor recreation. The trails will be less muddy and more enjoyable before the rain arrives. However, keep an eye on conditions, especially at higher elevations where it can be breezy.

As we transition into summer, remember to check on vulnerable groups and pets during extreme weather conditions. With the forecasted rain, it’s also a good time to prepare for potential muddy conditions that often follow.

Bottom Line

Enjoy the clear skies today, but be prepared for a wet weekend ahead. Plan your outdoor activities accordingly and drive safely!
