Ohio wakes up to a calm, chilly start across Wilmington and the Cincinnati area. The temperature sits near 34 degrees under fair skies, and the air feels crisp but manageable. By afternoon, sunshine pushes highs toward 47 degrees.
That mild stretch will not last.
Clouds increase tonight, and a slight chance of rain and snow develops late. Lows settle near 27 degrees. Roads should remain mainly wet, but colder pockets could allow a brief slick spot toward daybreak.
Sunday shifts the pattern. Snow becomes likely, mainly after midday, with highs near 35 degrees. Light accumulation is possible, generally under a half inch. Even light snow can coat bridges and untreated roads quickly. Plan extra time if traveling along I-71 or US-68.
Sunday night turns colder, with lows near 25 degrees and another chance of snow. Any slushy areas could refreeze after sunset. This is classic flash freezing season in southwest Ohio, when daytime melting hardens into icy patches by morning.
Monday keeps a slight chance of snow showers before 1 p.m., with highs around 34 degrees. Northwest winds gust near 24 mph, adding a brisk feel. The Monday morning commute could be impacted if light accumulation materializes.
By Tuesday, skies remain mostly cloudy with highs near 40 degrees. Wednesday brings a noticeable rebound, climbing to about 55 degrees with partly sunny skies. That midweek surge hints at early spring warmth.
The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Ohio, reinforcing that this February snow threat is temporary.
