WILMINGTON, Ohio – A cool, steady drizzle slicks the streets this morning as gray clouds drift low across Clinton County. Damp leaves cling to driveways, and the air feels calm — a soft handoff from the weekend’s showers to a brighter, milder start for the first full week of November.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington says skies will gradually clear today, with afternoon highs near 55°F. Calm winds and partly sunny skies will make it feel comfortably crisp, perfect for outdoor cleanup or early holiday decorating. Patchy fog could develop by early Monday, especially in low-lying areas near the Little Miami River and along Route 68. Drivers should be prepared for slower visibility on their early commutes before sunshine takes over by late morning.
Monday and Tuesday promise classic early-fall warmth, with highs climbing into the upper 50s and near 60°F under mostly sunny skies. Wednesday looks to be the week’s warmest day — near 64°F — with bright sunshine and calm winds, a perfect window for yard work or seasonal travel.
By Thursday and Friday, clouds will increase again ahead of a weak cold front sliding east from Indiana. Scattered showers are likely Friday, marking the first sign of a more unsettled pattern heading into next weekend.
As La Niña continues to shape North America’s early winter outlook, the Ohio Valley can expect frequent temperature swings and quick shifts between calm and unsettled days — a familiar rhythm as November settles in.
