Wilmington, OH – Light snow is expected across the Ohio Valley today, accompanied by gusty winds and dangerously low wind chill temperatures. Slick roads and reduced visibility could create hazardous travel conditions, especially along I-75 and local highways.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snowfall will begin late this morning, tapering off by the afternoon. Accumulation is forecast to stay under an inch, but the combination of snow and wind gusts up to 25 mph will reduce visibility. Temperatures will struggle to reach the mid-20s, with wind chill values plunging as low as -10°F.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution, especially on untreated roads and bridges. The NWS emphasizes that even light snow can create dangerous conditions due to cold pavement and gusty winds. Commuters should allow extra travel time and avoid sudden stops or accelerations.
Looking ahead, Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies but continued cold, with highs near 19°F and wind chills around -10°F in the morning. Thursday introduces a slight chance of morning snow showers, followed by clearing skies and highs in the low 20s. By Friday, a warming trend will see temperatures climb to the upper 30s, though rain is expected by evening, continuing into Saturday.
Stay updated on changing conditions and monitor local forecasts throughout the week. Be prepared for icy roads today and dress warmly to guard against bitter cold temperatures.
