Wilmington, OH – Light snow is forecast for parts of Ohio late Wednesday night, primarily impacting areas north of Interstate 70. Forecasters caution drivers to prepare for potentially slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses, as rain transitions to snow.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington, precipitation will begin as rain before turning to snow late Wednesday evening. The best chance for accumulation is north of I-70, with up to an inch of snow expected in some areas. While warm pavement may minimize road impacts, drivers should expect reduced visibility and exercise caution on elevated surfaces.
