Ohio – Warm air is surging across Wilmington this morning, but a sharp shift is coming fast as storms build later today.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, temperatures will climb to 82°F with southwest winds gusting up to 30 mph by afternoon. Conditions stay mostly sunny early, but instability increases quickly after 5 p.m., when showers and thunderstorms begin to develop.
Storms will move across Clinton County and surrounding areas, including Xenia and Washington Court House, through the evening. Rain chances climb to 90% into the night, with localized downpours and gusty winds creating slick roads. Drivers along US-68 and nearby rural routes should prepare for reduced visibility and ponding on roadways.
Temperatures will drop sharply behind the system, falling to around 36°F by early Monday. That quick cooldown could lead to patchy slick spots where water lingers on bridges and untreated surfaces. Plan extra time for the morning commute.
Skies clear Monday with highs near 50°F, offering a brief reset before a steady warming trend resumes. Tuesday brings sunshine and highs near 55°F, followed by milder air Wednesday with temperatures reaching the low 60s.
By midweek, another round of showers becomes possible, especially Wednesday night into Thursday, with highs climbing into the mid-70s before rain returns.
This active spring pattern keeps conditions changing quickly. Stay weather-aware, especially during evening travel. Are storms already moving through your area?
