While not in time for a white Christmas, it appears we will have snow to ring in the new year. Exercise caution if you are out this evening, as the frigid temps can quickly cause roads to become slick. Visibility may also be affected. Please allow plow crews plenty of space.
NWS Wilmington OH
@NWSILN31 Dec 2025
[11:45 AM] More snow will move into the area tonight. A brief period of heavier snow will bring reduced visibilities and quick accumulations, so be prepared for poor travel conditions tonight and very early Thursday morning.
A map showing forecast snowfall accumulations tonight through Thursday morning, with around 1-2 inches in central Ohio, and less than an inch elsewhere.
