Wilmington, OH – Temperatures will warm into the low 60s today, but a sharp shift is coming midweek with the arrival of winter weather. Residents should prepare for rain on Monday night, followed by freezing temperatures and possible snow accumulation Wednesday into Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, today will see highs of 61°F with partly sunny skies, offering mild conditions for outdoor activities. However, by Monday night, a system moving through the region will bring widespread rain, turning roads slick during the evening commute. Rainfall is expected to transition into snow as temperatures drop below freezing late Wednesday night.
Tuesday will remain breezy, with a slight chance of showers lingering into the evening. Wednesday will bring the most significant weather shift as daytime highs in the upper 50s plummet to near freezing overnight, creating the potential for wintry precipitation. Snow showers are likely to impact areas along the I-71 corridor, making road conditions hazardous by Thursday morning.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday will bring highs in the mid-30s, with additional snow possible. The cold snap is a stark contrast to the unseasonably warm temperatures seen over the weekend.
Residents should prepare for icy roads and snow accumulation by midweek. Local authorities urge drivers to use caution, especially on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. Stocking up on winter essentials like rock salt and windshield de-icer is recommended.
