Wilmington, Ohio – Sunshine returns to Ohio Friday, but don’t pack away the umbrella just yet — rain is set to make a Memorial Day comeback across Clinton County.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, skies will stay dry and mostly sunny through Saturday, with a high near 66°F and calm northwest winds. But starting Monday, a 50% chance of showers moves back into the region, potentially disrupting Memorial Day events, cookouts, and travel on routes like U.S. 68. Rain chances remain steady through Wednesday, bringing a soggy start to the shortened workweek.
Friday will bring a high of 62°F under partly sunny skies. Friday night dips to 43°F before a picture-perfect Saturday with highs back up to 66°F. Sunday also looks dry and partly sunny — ideal for outdoor plans before conditions shift.
By Monday, clouds thicken and temperatures hold near 65°F as chances for scattered showers climb back to 50%. Tuesday and Wednesday continue the trend, with highs in the upper 60s and occasional showers possible both afternoons.
Drivers should watch for slick roads, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Those traveling in or out of Wilmington via I-71 or U.S. 68 should prepare for reduced visibility during any heavier downpours. Residents planning outdoor events are urged to have backup indoor options.
Memorial Day Weekend wraps up dry but cool, then transitions to an unsettled pattern into midweek. Stay weather-aware as additional alerts could be issued by local officials.
