Wilmington, OH — A chilly Wednesday morning across Ohio will give way to increasing cloud cover and rain chances by evening as a cold front moves into the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, low pressure will track into Ohio late Wednesday, bringing rain chances that climb through the afternoon. Precipitation probabilities will peak between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., particularly in cities like Celina (72%), Richmond (63%), and Columbus (53%).
Daytime highs will remain modest, ranging from 49°F in the north to 57°F in the southern counties. Cincinnati, Dayton, and Wilmington are forecast to reach around 52°F to 55°F before clouds thicken.
The system will progress eastward overnight, with cooler air and potential lingering showers Thursday morning. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously during evening commutes as slick roads may develop. Light rainfall totals are expected, though wet conditions could briefly impact visibility and traffic flow.
Residents should monitor weather.gov/iln for updates and dress in layers, especially for early morning and evening hours. This early April pattern, while typical for Ohio’s spring, serves as a reminder to prepare for rapidly shifting weather.
