A cool front sweeping into Ohio Thursday promises a chilly end to the workweek and a potentially rainy Veterans Day weekend. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s to low 60s, with cooler conditions expected to persist across Wilmington, Columbus, and surrounding areas. Residents should prepare for a cooler Friday and anticipate rain by Saturday evening, impacting holiday plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Thursday’s high is expected to reach around 61°F under partly sunny skies. Friday’s forecast looks similarly mild with temperatures around 62°F but with clear, sunny skies. By Saturday night, an 80% chance of rain is predicted, intensifying Sunday, which could bring up to 100% precipitation throughout the day. For those planning to observe Veterans Day outdoors, rain gear is recommended.
Early Sunday forecasts indicate highs reaching 65°F, but heavy rain could dampen festivities. Sunday night may see continued showers tapering off into Monday, allowing for cooler, partly sunny skies to start the workweek. Monday’s high will be around 61°F, while Tuesday brings partly cloudy weather with highs in the low 60s.
Wilmington-area travelers should monitor conditions closely if driving on busy routes like I-71, as rain could lead to slick roads and reduced visibility. The National Weather Service urges caution, especially during the rain-heavy Sunday. With fluctuating weather over the next few days, residents are encouraged to stay updated through local forecasts to plan accordingly.
