Wilmington, OH – Snowfall is expected to impact parts of Ohio on Friday, particularly along the I-70 corridor, bringing potential travel disruptions. Forecasts indicate areas north of Dayton and west of Columbus could see over an inch of snow, with icy conditions likely into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin early Friday morning and may mix with rain before turning to all snow by mid-morning. Accumulations of 1–2 inches are forecasted in northern and central Ohio, while locations closer to the Ohio River may see less than an inch. Temperatures will drop below freezing Friday evening, potentially creating icy patches on untreated roads and bridges.
Residents are urged to prepare for hazardous travel conditions, particularly during the Friday morning commute. Drivers along major highways, including I-70 and I-71, should allow extra time and exercise caution, as slick spots could develop quickly.
The weekend will remain cold, with highs near 30 degrees Saturday and only reaching the upper 20s on Sunday. Overnight lows are expected to plunge into the teens, making it essential to dress warmly and protect pets and outdoor plumbing from the freezing temperatures.
Looking ahead, Monday offers some relief with sunny skies and highs in the upper 30s, though another storm system may bring rain by midweek.
Stay informed with updated forecasts and road conditions before heading out. Residents are encouraged to follow local alerts for the latest updates on snow removal efforts and weather advisories.
