Wilmington, OH – A high-pressure system will keep the Ohio Valley under cold conditions today, with frosty morning lows and a sunny but brisk afternoon ahead. Temperatures will struggle to reach 32 degrees, making outdoor plans a challenge for residents.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will drop to 23 degrees tonight under clear skies, with light south winds offering little warmth. This pattern shifts slightly tomorrow, as highs climb to 43 degrees under increasing clouds, signaling a transition to milder conditions for Christmas week.
Monday night brings a 40% chance of rain, with overcast skies and lows near 35. By Tuesday, rain becomes more likely, with occasional showers persisting through Christmas Day. Residents can expect highs near 47 on Wednesday, making for a soggy holiday celebration.
Motorists along I-71 and local roads should remain cautious Monday night into Tuesday as wet conditions could create slick spots during early morning commutes. Visibility may also be reduced due to patchy rain and fog.
For those traveling or finalizing holiday preparations, Thursday offers a brief break in rain with mostly cloudy skies and highs reaching 51. However, heavier rain looks likely again by Friday and Saturday, bringing potential impacts for post-Christmas plans.
