Good morning, Bennington! As we move into the weekend, expect warm but overcast conditions throughout the region. Today, temperatures will peak around 71°F, with a low of 61°F tonight. Winds will be moderate, reaching up to 19 mph, which may make it feel slightly cooler in exposed areas.
Bennington Weekend Weather and Commute Conditions
For commuters on US-7, VT-9 (the Molly Stark Trail), and VT-279, the morning drive should be uneventful with mainly clear skies. However, as the day progresses, the overcast conditions may lead to reduced visibility at times, so keep an eye on the road. No precipitation is expected today, which is a relief for those navigating the roads.
Southern Vermont Weather for Saturday and Sunday
As we head into the weekend, Saturday will see a high of 70.5°F and a low of 56°F, with continued overcast skies and a slight chance of rain. Wind speeds will decrease slightly, but still remain at 15 mph, which could create some chill in the air, especially in higher elevations around Mount Anthony and the Green Mountain National Forest.
On Sunday, expect similar temperatures with a high of 71.5°F and a low of 54°F. There’s a chance of light drizzle, with a precipitation probability of 25%, so outdoor activities at places like Lake Paran may require a little planning. The light drizzle could also make trails slippery, so hikers should exercise caution.
As we approach summer, it’s a good reminder to check on neighbors and stay hydrated, especially as warmer days become more frequent. Keep your pets cool and comfortable as well during this warm spell.
Bottom Line: Today will be warm and mainly clear, perfect for outdoor plans, but expect overcast skies this weekend with a chance of drizzle on Sunday. Drive safely and enjoy the beautiful Green Mountains!
