Wilmington, OH – Power lines hum and leaves scatter across driveways this Sunday morning as strong southwest winds sweep across much of Ohio, northern Kentucky, and eastern Indiana. Gusts near 50 mph are possible through midday, prompting the National Weather Service in Wilmington to issue a Wind Advisory until noon. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should use caution, and residents are urged to secure outdoor decorations and trash bins.
According to the National Weather Service, gusty winds will gradually ease by afternoon as a cold front pushes east. Temperatures will fall through the 50s, leaving the air crisp but calmer into the evening. Showers and a few rumbles of thunder may accompany the frontal passage early in the day, tapering by midafternoon.
Monday brings a sharp shift — sunshine and calmer west winds return, with highs near 62°F and a refreshing breeze. By Tuesday, expect mostly clear skies with a high around 64°F before cooler, drier air moves in midweek. Forecasters note the first hints of frost could develop in rural valleys by Thursday morning as lows dip into the upper 30s.
As Halloween approaches, residents can expect mostly sunny, comfortable afternoons and crisp nights — ideal for fall cleanup, decorating, or evening football games. For now, today’s high winds mark one last blustery punch before Ohio settles into its late-October rhythm.
