Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
727 PM EDT Wed Sep 30 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No significant changes.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Above normal temperatures will be in place through Thursday. A
cold front on Friday will lead to generally below normal temperatures
through at least the middle of next week.

2) Precipitation is expected Thursday night into Friday, otherwise
expect generally dry conditions through the next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Key Message 1)
Well above normal temperatures are expected for Thursday with highs
areawide in the 80s. A few 90 degree readings cannot be ruled out
near and south of the Ohio River. Temperatures will fall on Friday as
a cold front moves through, ushering in generally below normal
temperatures for the remainder of the week. There will be the
potential for some patchy frost Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Key Message 2)
A few light showers or sprinkles cannot be ruled out this afternoon
through the overnight across far northern portions of the region
north of Interstate 70. Most of this will be falling from a mid deck
however and therefore do not expect much if any to reach the ground.
Due to that left NBM dry forecast in place.

Showers will move into the region Thursday evening through Friday
before tapering off Friday evening. This is associated with a cold
front that will move through the area. There is some limited
instability and therefore have a lower end thunder mention in part of
the forecast area as well. While brief periods of heavy rain will be
possible, the probability of flooding conditions is low at this time
and therefore left any mention out of the HWO.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Mid and high clouds will continue to move across the region through
the period. Clouds should be thin enough in the Cincinnati area
tonight to allow for river valley fog to develop and produce
visibility restrictions at KLUK. Otherwise VFR. Southerly winds will
increase in speed on Thursday with gusts at or above 20 kt

OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR ceilings and visibilities expected late Thursday
night into Friday.

&&

.ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
