Wilmington, Ohio – Ohio wakes up under a steel-gray sky as colder air settles in fast, changing how the rest of the week feels. Pavement stays damp, the air turns sharper, and light flakes may drift through at times as winter reasserts control across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, rain transitions to a rain-and-snow mix today, with periods of light snow possible by afternoon and evening. Temperatures slide steadily, dropping into the teens tonight as northwest winds increase, allowing any leftover moisture to refreeze.
Across Clinton County and nearby communities, brief reductions in visibility are possible during snow showers. Gusty winds may push flakes across Route 68, U.S. 22, and secondary roads, especially outside town where open fields allow drifting. Snow amounts remain light, but slick spots can develop quickly once surfaces cool.
Thursday brings a colder, quieter stretch. Clouds break at times, but highs struggle to reach the mid-20s. Any melting from earlier showers may refreeze after sunset, increasing the risk of black ice on untreated roads, parking lots, and sidewalks.
By Friday, another round of snow becomes possible as a system tracks through the Midwest. Light accumulations could develop during the day, paired with breezy conditions and highs near the mid-30s. Travel impacts remain limited for now, but timing could affect daytime errands.
Looking ahead, colder air holds into the weekend with additional snow chances and single-digit overnight lows. More advisories may be issued as systems sharpen. Traveling Friday or Saturday? Share what road conditions look like where you are.
