Wilmington, OH – Residents across southern and central Ohio can expect a damp and breezy Thursday as a passing system continues to deliver rain and gusty winds before moving east by tonight.
According to the US National Weather Service Wilmington, OH, light to moderate rain will persist through the morning and afternoon, gradually tapering off late Thursday evening from west to east. Forecast maps show most areas receiving between a quarter and half an inch of rainfall.
Peak wind gusts are expected to reach 20–25 mph across much of the region, adding to the chill and creating slick roadways during the evening commute. Meteorologists say breezy conditions will linger into Friday, keeping the end of the workweek cooler but mainly dry.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time for travel, especially during morning and evening rush hours, and to secure any outdoor decorations or loose items ahead of the stronger gusts.
Clearer skies are forecast to return by Friday afternoon, with temperatures holding steady in the upper 40s to low 50s.
