Indiana – A brittle chill settles over northeast Indiana as pale sunlight reflects off frozen pavement and idle cars warm slowly. Temperatures sit near 10 degrees in Fort Wayne this morning, with wind chills dipping below zero, enough to sting faces and stiffen hands in minutes.
According to the National Weather Service, cold conditions dominate today with highs limited to around 20 degrees. Winds remain light, but lingering cold keeps untreated roads slick. A brief chance for light snow develops late tonight into early Sunday morning, mainly after 4 a.m., though accumulations stay minimal. Even so, thin coatings can refreeze quickly, creating patchy ice.
Drivers across Allen County should remain cautious on I-69, I-469, and surface streets where melted snow turns icy. This time of year favors flash freezing once daytime melting fades. Plan extra braking distance and slow down through shaded stretches.
Sunday stays mostly cloudy and cold, with highs near 24 degrees. Snow chances fade quickly by late morning, leaving dry but cold conditions through the afternoon. Sunday night drops back into the low teens, keeping any leftover moisture locked in ice.
Change arrives early next week. Monday brings mostly cloudy skies and highs near 31 degrees, edging closer to freezing. By Tuesday, sunshine returns and temperatures climb into the low 40s, a noticeable February thaw across northern Indiana. That warming trend continues midweek, though clouds increase and rain chances emerge by Wednesday as highs reach the upper 30s.
Looking ahead into the six- to ten-day window, signs point toward above-normal temperatures across the Midwest. While winter is far from finished, milder air may reduce prolonged ice risks and bring a more springlike feel later next week.
Heading out today? Take it slow on cold pavement and let us know how road conditions look where you are.
