Wilmington, OH – Shoppers heading out for Black Friday deals should bundle up as unseasonably cold temperatures settle into Ohio this weekend. Wind chill values will plunge into single digits, with snow likely Saturday night, potentially causing slick conditions in the Wilmington area.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will drop to a low of 15°F Friday night, with gusty winds making it feel even colder. Saturday will remain brisk, with a high near 31°F, before another round of snow moves in during the evening hours. Accumulations are expected to stay under half an inch, but icy roads along key routes like the I-71 corridor could pose challenges for drivers.
