Wilmington, OH – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for central and southwest Ohio until 11 a.m. Wednesday, with freezing rain, snow, and hazardous road conditions impacting the morning commute.

According to the National Weather Service, light freezing rain and drizzle could create a thin layer of ice overnight. Snow accumulation of up to one inch is expected, particularly in Fairfield, Fayette, Pickaway, Clinton, and Warren counties. Southeast winds may gust up to 25 mph, making travel treacherous.

By Wednesday afternoon, temperatures will rise to the low 40s, turning precipitation into rain. However, wet roads and residual ice may still cause delays. Drivers should slow down and check OHGO.com for real-time traffic updates.

Looking ahead, Thursday will bring mostly dry conditions with highs in the mid-30s. Another storm system arrives Friday night, bringing rain and a possible wintry mix through Valentine’s weekend. Heavy rain Saturday could lead to localized flooding.

Residents should prepare for fluctuating conditions and monitor forecasts for updates.
