How the Forecast Compares With Climate Normals
For Monday, September 28, the forecast high of 76°F is 3 degrees above the 73°F normal high listed in the National Weather Service Wilmington, Ohio climate report.

Sunny Monday Leads Into Foggy Mornings
A north wind around 7 mph will keep the air comfortable through the afternoon, with temperatures topping out near 76 degrees. Monday night will be mostly clear and cool, dropping to about 52 degrees as patchy fog develops after 4 a.m.
Tuesday morning could begin with more fog before 9 a.m., followed by sunny skies and another high near 76. Wednesday brings a stronger warmup, with mostly sunny conditions and temperatures reaching about 81 degrees.
Summer-Like Warmth Peaks Thursday

Showers Return For The Weekend
