Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
139 PM EDT Sat Oct 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry conditions and seasonable temperatures are expected through the
upcoming week, with very little chance for rain. Temperatures may dip
a few degrees past midweek with a replenishing dose of dry cool air
for the second half of the upcoming workweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A compact mid level low pressure system will pivot away from the
region this evening into tonight, with midlevel ridging nudging
eastward from the mid MO Vly by tonight through the short term
period. Drier air will filter in from the N tonight into early Sunday
before some easterly moisture return evolves by Sunday night.

The overall pattern spells tranquil conditions for the OH Vly for the
foreseeable future. Highs today will top out in the lower 70s, with
a mix of sun and clouds (more clouds favored near/SE of I-71).
However, a trend toward clearer skies will evolve toward sunset and
beyond, with just a few cirrus in the SE ILN FA overnight.

Lows tonight will dip into the mid/upper 40s amidst light NNE sfc
flow. Some river valley fog will be possible late as the gradient
relaxes a bit toward sunrise.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Dry and seasonably mild conditions are on tap for the short term
period with highs in the lower 70s and lows Sunday night into the
upper 40s once again. Abundant sunshine is expected during the
daytime Sunday before some clouds encroach from the E toward sunset
and beyond.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Quiet weather will be in place for much of the week with dry
conditions expected Monday through Friday night.  Cannot rule out
some patchy frost Thursday morning in parts of central Ohio, however
better chance will be Friday morning.  Due to this added frost
mention in parts of central Ohio Friday morning.

Heading into the weekend on Saturday a strong system will begin to
approach the region.  There is a good amount of model agreement for
this system being a week out.  There are still some details to be
resolved with timing, however Saturday will likely be a little
breezy out in front of this system and then gusty winds with the
showers either later Saturday or into Sunday.  This system is one to
keep an eye on as it gets closer to see if it keeps showing this
stronger signal.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A relatively narrow band of SCT/BKN VFR Cu will continue to push
slowly SE through the remainder of the day as a weak cold front moves
through the area. The best coverage of Cu will focus near
KCVG/KLUK/KILN, with clearer skies favored farther N for
KDAY/KCMH/KLCK. Skies will trend clearer past 00z, with just a
FEW/SCT cirrus overnight into early Sunday. Some river valley BR,
with MVFR/IFR VSBYs, will be possible at KLUK in the several hours
around sunrise. Light NNE winds around 5-7kts or less will prevail
through the period.

OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
