Warm & mild for now, a “ghostly chill” for Halloween

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - You’ll notice that Thursday morning feels better and warmer than that of Wednesday morning.

That, combined with all the sunshine, dry and dead leaves and grass, means fire danger is high for the day ahead. A few clouds may begin to build in through Thursday, and could give way to a few showers Thursday evening into Thursday night. Any rain we see is not all that impressive, with most only running up to a tenth of an inch.
