Wilmington, OH – The air feels deceptively calm this morning across southwest Ohio — a quiet pause before another round of November weather changes. Sunshine gives way to increasing clouds by afternoon as a moisture-packed system targets the region, bringing steady rain and breezy conditions Tuesday just as Thanksgiving travel ramps up across the state.
According to the National Weather Service, light rain will move in late tonight, becoming widespread Tuesday morning. Temperatures will climb into the low 50s, but the damp air and gusty southeast winds will make it feel cooler. Commuters should prepare for slick roads, reduced visibility, and slow-moving traffic, especially along I-71 and Route 68 through Clinton and Warren Counties.
By Wednesday, high pressure returns with partly sunny skies and breezy northwest winds. Travelers heading out early for the holiday should find improving conditions across most of Ohio. Thanksgiving Day itself looks crisp but quiet — highs in the 30s, a few morning clouds, and plenty of sun for afternoon gatherings.
Looking ahead, colder air settles in Thursday night into Friday with lows dipping into the upper teens. A light snow chance develops late Saturday as a new front approaches from the west, hinting at a winter-like pattern for the end of November.
5-Day Outlook:
- Tuesday: Rain, 53°F.
- Wednesday: Partly sunny, breezy, 51°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Mostly sunny, 34°F.
- Friday: Sunny, 34°F.
- Saturday: Chance of rain/snow, 38°F.
