Fort Wayne, Indiana — Cold overnight temperatures across northern Indiana are prompting wind chill concerns into early Monday, especially near I-69 and US-30.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Northern Indiana, cold air settling in tonight will bring low temperatures ranging from 1 to 17 degrees, with the coldest conditions expected across northern counties, particularly east of I-69. Wind chills are forecast to dip between -8 and +9 degrees, creating potentially hazardous conditions for those outdoors late tonight and early Monday morning.
The National Weather Service reports that Monday highs will range from the mid-20s to mid-30s, with slightly warmer readings expected across southern and western areas of the region. Increasing cloud cover is expected through the day, though no precipitation is forecast.
Drivers along I-69, I-80/90, US-30, and US-31 may notice sharp temperature contrasts during early morning travel, especially before sunrise. While roads are expected to remain dry, cold wind chills could pose risks for stranded motorists or anyone exposed for extended periods.
Temperatures are forecast to moderate quickly after Monday. The Weather Service says highs will rise into the upper 30s to mid-40s Tuesday, especially south of US-30, making it the warmest day of the week. Conditions are expected to remain dry through midweek.
By Wednesday, highs are expected to settle back into the 30 to upper 30s, with the warmest temperatures favoring far southwest areas of northern Indiana.
The next opportunity for snow does not arrive until Thursday, with chances currently estimated between 15 and 30 percent, according to the Weather Service.
This brief cold snap may be most noticeable for early-morning commuters, students waiting for buses, and overnight workers before milder midweek conditions arrive.
