Wilmington, Ohio – A stretch of brilliant sunshine and warm temperatures will give way to a stormy and wet weekend across Clinton County. Residents can enjoy clear skies and highs in the low 80s through the middle of the week before a significant pattern shift arrives Friday night.
The impending change prompts a need for weekend awareness. According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday and Thursday will be ideal for outdoor activities, with sunny conditions and high temperatures climbing into the mid-80s. However, the weather system changes Friday, introducing a chance of showers that will grow into likely thunderstorms by Saturday, potentially impacting travel and outdoor events.
Drivers along U.S. Route 68 and State Route 73 should experience clear road conditions for their mid-week commutes. The dry weather provides a perfect window for homeowners to handle lawn care or other outdoor projects before the weekend system moves in. By Saturday, the chance for showers and thunderstorms increases to 70 percent, creating the possibility of hazardous driving conditions and localized ponding on roadways.
Residents should prepare for the shift by securing loose outdoor items, such as patio furniture and garbage cans, ahead of Friday. The stormy pattern is expected to linger, with showers remaining likely through Sunday and into the start of the next work week. Continue to monitor for any potential weather advisories as the weekend approaches.
