Indiana skies are gray but quiet this morning, and Fort Wayne sits under a calm 36-degree start. The air feels damp, but roads along I-69 and U.S. 30 remain dry as clouds begin to thin. Change is already building as this February thaw takes shape.
Highs reach near 51 degrees this afternoon as clouds gradually break for some sunshine. According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, winds stay light, turning west around 5 mph later today. Tonight cools to around 30 degrees under partly cloudy skies.
Monday brings brighter conditions and a steady warm-up. Highs climb to 55 degrees with light southwest winds. Tuesday pushes even milder, reaching 56 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. South winds increase slightly through the day.

Drivers should plan for slick pavement along I-469 and Lima Road once steady rain moves in.
