Indiana — The cold bites hard this morning, sharp enough to sting lungs with every breath. Streetlights glow over stiff pavement as thin snow remnants crunch under tires across Fort Wayne.
Temperatures sit near 10 degrees early, and the air feels even colder after dark. Northern Indiana remains locked in a Winter pattern as Arctic air holds firm. Light snow chances linger through the day, with spotty flakes possible before noon and again late afternoon. Accumulation stays minor, but slick patches remain a concern.
Highs struggle to reach the mid-teens today. Winds stay light, yet the cold settles deep into roads and sidewalks. Drivers should stay alert on I-69 and surface streets where refreezing develops quickly after any melting.
Tonight turns sharper. Temperatures fall below zero, with lows near minus two. Any untreated moisture freezes solid. This is prime flash-freeze season. Slow down, especially on bridges and shaded roads.
Saturday stays cold but brighter. Sunshine breaks through, but highs only reach the mid-teens. Wind chills dip near five below at times. Outdoor exposure should stay brief. Pets and pipes need protection.
Sunday brings modest improvement. Sunshine dominates, and highs climb near 20 degrees. Even so, the cold remains stubborn. By Sunday night, clouds return, and lows dip near eight.
Monday introduces the next weather shift. Snow chances rise to around 30 percent, mainly during the morning. Highs push into the mid-20s, but slick travel could return quickly if snow develops.
Looking ahead, temperatures slowly moderate into early February. Highs approach the upper 20s by Tuesday, though additional snow chances linger midweek.
Meteorologists continue tracking the broader Arctic pattern. With the Great Lakes heavily iced, cold air drains south easily, reinforcing winter across Indiana and the Midwest.
