WILMINGTON, Ohio – A quiet Saturday evening may not last long, as Wilmington faces a small window of showers overnight before skies clear and warmer, sunnier days return Sunday. Drivers should be alert for slick spots near I-71 during the late-night hours as light rain and cloudy conditions set in.
According to the National Weather Service, a 20% chance of rain lingers through early Sunday morning, mainly before 2 a.m. and again after 4 a.m. Temperatures will hold near 61 degrees overnight with calm winds shifting southeast. Rainfall is expected to remain light, but even minor moisture on roads could create slippery patches for early travelers.
By Sunday, conditions will improve dramatically. Sunshine returns, bringing highs near 85 degrees across Clinton County. Winds will remain light, adding to a stretch of warm fall weather that continues into midweek. Monday and Tuesday are both expected to reach highs near 88, with skies mostly sunny and overnight lows steady in the low 60s.
Residents can take advantage of the dry weather to prepare for the week ahead. Outdoor events, school activities, and travel should move forward without disruption through Wednesday. Officials still recommend keeping an eye on updates, as warm temperatures and calm winds can quickly shift in late September.
Warnings are not in effect at this time, but meteorologists note that clearer skies tonight may give way to denser fog pockets early next week. More updates will be issued if new advisories are posted.
