Wilmington, Ohio – Fog could blanket roads across southwest Ohio early Sunday, creating dangerous driving conditions before sunshine breaks through later in the day. Drivers on I-71 and nearby highways are urged to use caution before 8 a.m., when low visibility may linger, especially in valleys and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, patchy fog will be the primary concern to start Sunday. Light winds mean fog could persist longer in some spots, but conditions quickly improve as skies clear, with highs near 79 degrees by the afternoon.
Local officials encourage motorists to allow extra travel time, slow down, and use low-beam headlights when driving through fog-prone areas. Even short commutes could be impacted until visibility improves. By late morning, sunshine dominates, bringing a warm and comfortable afternoon for outdoor plans.
Sunday night turns mostly clear with lows near 53 degrees. Cooler air settles in Monday, when sunshine continues but highs only reach the lower 70s. Overnight lows dip into the upper 40s, marking the coolest stretch of the week.
Looking ahead, travelers and residents can expect steady, quiet weather through midweek. Sunshine holds strong into Thursday, with highs in the low to mid-70s and crisp, cool nights. No major rain or storm systems are anticipated through Friday.
The National Weather Service will provide updates if fog lingers beyond the early morning.
