Wilmington, OH – A taste of fall is on its way to the Ohio Valley this weekend as a cold front brings cooler temperatures and lower humidity. The region, currently experiencing the driest 60-day period of the year, will see highs drop into the mid-70s to low-80s starting Friday evening, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities.
According to forecasts, the cold front will slide through late Friday afternoon, setting the stage for a pleasant weekend. Daytime highs will range from 77°F on Saturday and Sunday to the upper 70s by midweek, with nighttime lows dipping into the 50s. Sunshine will dominate the skies, with only a slight chance of rain on Monday evening.
Residents should take advantage of this brief respite from the summer heat. However, meteorologists warn that this fall-like weather is temporary. The extended forecast indicates a return to warmer, occasionally hot temperatures, and predominantly dry conditions by the middle of next week.
For now, the Ohio Valley can enjoy a cool, comfortable weekend that feels more like mid-September than early August.
