Wilmington, Ohio – Scattered snow showers are expected to develop late Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning across the Wilmington area, potentially reducing visibility during overnight and early-morning travel.
According to the National Weather Service office in Wilmington, snow showers are most likely between 12 a.m. and 10 a.m. Sunday, with activity occurring intermittently rather than as a continuous snowfall. Forecasters say gusty winds combined with falling snow could cause rapid changes in visibility, especially during heavier snow bursts.
Probability data from the National Weather Service shows a 60 to 70 percent chance of at least 0.1 inch of snowfall in and around Wilmington during this period, with slightly higher probabilities across portions of central and western Ohio. While widespread accumulation is not expected, light snow accumulation is possible, particularly on grassy areas, bridges, and elevated surfaces.
Roadway impacts are expected to be limited, as warmer pavement temperatures should prevent significant buildup on most main roads. However, officials caution that slick spots could still develop, especially if snow showers briefly intensify or occur during lower-traffic overnight hours.
Breezy conditions will continue through Sunday morning, which may contribute to blowing snow in open areas and briefly reduced visibility for motorists. Drivers traveling late tonight or early Sunday are encouraged to remain alert for sudden changes in road conditions.
For commuters, students, and early-morning travelers, the most noticeable impacts are expected before mid-morning Sunday, with conditions gradually improving as snow showers taper off.
The National Weather Service advises residents to stay informed by monitoring local forecasts and updates at weather.gov/iln, especially if travel plans extend into Sunday morning hours.
