Wilmington, OH – The air feels calm for now — crisp, still, and gray — but changes are already on the horizon. Light snow is expected to spread into southwest Ohio late tonight, brushing through the Tri-State region by early Thursday morning. Though totals stay modest, even a dusting could cause slick roads and low visibility before sunrise.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington says minor accumulations of less than one inch are possible, especially along and north of I-71 and Route 68. This will be a quick-moving system, but temperatures near freezing mean any untreated pavement could become slippery fast. Morning commuters should plan extra time and slow down on bridges and shaded back roads, where icy spots may form.
By Thursday afternoon, skies clear briefly, and winds ease from the northwest. Highs reach the upper 20s, but another chilly push returns Friday with temperatures near 31°F and the chance for a few lingering flurries. The weekend looks mostly dry but cold — a reminder that December’s first freeze cycle is setting in.
Five-Day Outlook for Wilmington, OH:
- Thursday: Light snow early, high 28°F.
- Friday: Mostly cloudy, slight snow chance, high 31°F.
- Saturday: Partly cloudy, high 34°F.
- Sunday: Mostly cloudy, high 32°F.
- Monday: Chance of snow, high 28°F.
