Dayton is starting Monday, November 9, with clear skies, patchy frost possible before 7 a.m., and a chill near 40 degrees. Sunshine should push the temperature to about 62 by afternoon, with light west winds and no rain on the schedule. It is a calm opening to a week that gets wetter and noticeably colder by Thursday.
The National Weather Service Wilmington office lists a frost advisory through 9 a.m. Monday for several Ohio zones. Sensitive plants may need protection during the early-morning chill, but the afternoon should be comfortable for errands, outdoor work and a little extra time outside.
Warmest Stretch Arrives Tuesday
Tuesday looks like the warmest day of the week, with full sunshine and a high near 66 degrees. Wednesday remains mild, reaching about 63 under partly sunny skies, though clouds will begin building ahead of the next weather system. The updated outlook is a substantive change from Hoodline's earlier Dayton forecast, with rain now more clearly timed for Wednesday night and Thursday.
Rain Arrives Wednesday Night
Rain is expected to begin after 7 p.m. Wednesday, with an 80% chance of precipitation overnight. Thursday looks wet and blustery, with rain, mostly cloudy skies, a high near 52 and northwest winds of 14 to 17 mph. That combination could make for a slower, messier commute even without any major weather alerts currently posted.
Precipitation chances are likely to end by Friday night, with lows in the lower 30s. Friday could bring lingering precipitation, and a few wet snowflakes could mix in as colder air settles across the Miami Valley.
Weekend Rebound Stays Cool
The week ends on a quieter but chilly note, with Friday night's low in the lower 30s. Saturday should be partly cloudy, followed by a mostly sunny Sunday with a high in the lower 50s. The best outdoor windows look to be Monday through Wednesday before the rain and sharp temperature drop arrive.
