Ohio, Wilmington – A sharp 20-degree start grips the Miami Valley this morning, but bright February sunshine is already softening the edge of that winter chill.
Clear skies dominate today with highs reaching 49 degrees. Light winds keep conditions calm, and the sun will help melt leftover snow piles along sidewalks and parking lots. Wet pavement may develop by afternoon.
Tonight turns mostly clear with lows near 29. That sets up a brief refreeze window toward sunrise. Drivers along I-71 and U.S. 68 should watch for isolated slick spots where meltwater freezes.
Saturday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 53. Clouds increase Saturday night, and rain becomes likely after 1 a.m. Lows hold near 40, keeping most surfaces wet rather than icy.
Sunday turns unsettled with rain likely, especially before early afternoon. Highs reach 51. Rainfall amounts may range from a tenth to a quarter inch. Plan extra time if traveling Sunday, as wet roads and reduced visibility could slow traffic.
Sunday night dries out with partly cloudy skies and lows near 37.
President’s Day Monday looks mild and partly sunny with highs near 58. Tuesday jumps to 62 under mostly cloudy skies, continuing a warming trend. Midweek temperatures push toward the upper 60s before another rain chance develops.
The 6- to 10-day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Ohio, reinforcing early spring vibes heading deeper into February.
