Wilmington, Ohio – Warm sunshine and gusty winds will dominate Sunday across Wilmington and much of Clinton County, but a shift is coming fast.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Sunday will bring mostly sunny skies with highs near 76°F and southeast winds gusting up to 11 mph. While the day will feel like classic spring, residents should prepare for a change Monday evening as a round of showers and thunderstorms moves into the region.
By Monday night, there’s a 40% chance of thunderstorms, some of which could bring brief downpours. The risk continues Tuesday and Tuesday night, with precipitation chances climbing to 70% and 60% respectively. Daily highs will stay in the mid-70s, offering humid, summer-like air that could fuel heavier rain. No severe weather is currently expected, but roads such as U.S. Route 68 and State Route 134 could become slick during evening commutes.
Wilmington stays warm through the week, with showers likely Wednesday and continuing into Thursday. Overnight lows hover in the upper 50s and low 60s, so frost is no longer a concern after the brief threat Friday night in outlying areas.
Drivers should slow down on wet pavement and stay alert to ponding on rural roads. Have umbrellas, weather radios, and phone alerts ready for early-week storms.
Rain chances decrease slightly by Friday, but unsettled spring weather looks likely to stick around into next weekend. Updates will follow if any alerts are issued.
