Fort Wayne, Indiana – Cold conditions and intermittent light snow are affecting northern Indiana this weekend, with minor travel impacts expected through Sunday morning.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Northern Indiana, light lake-effect snow showers across northwest Indiana and southwest Michigan are tapering off this morning. Despite diminishing snowfall, cold air remains in place, with daytime highs today ranging from 18 to 23 degrees.
Another fast-moving clipper system is forecast to pass through the region late tonight into Sunday morning, bringing a brief period of light snow. Accumulations are expected to remain under one inch, but even light snowfall could create slick spots on untreated roads during early-morning travel.
The greatest impacts are expected along major corridors such as Interstate 69, Interstate 80/90, U.S. Route 30, and Interstate 94, where snow-covered pavement and cold temperatures may reduce traction. Overnight lows are forecast to fall between 7 and 16 degrees, increasing the risk of refreezing.
Snow is expected to end Sunday morning, with highs ranging from 19 to 27 degrees during the afternoon. While conditions will remain cold, improving visibility and reduced snowfall should help ease travel concerns later in the day.
A warming trend is forecast to begin Monday, with highs climbing into the upper 20s to mid-30s. This gradual warm-up may improve road conditions and reduce cold-related travel risks for commuters and outdoor workers.
The National Weather Service advises drivers to allow extra travel time, reduce speed on snow-covered roads, and remain alert for changing conditions, especially during early-morning hours.
The cold weekend weather may particularly affect early-shift workers, students, and commuters traveling along exposed highways before sunrise.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official weather updates as conditions evolve and prepare for brief but impactful winter travel conditions before warmer weather arrives early next week.
