Fort Wayne, Indiana – Drivers across northern Indiana could run into slick roads before sunrise Wednesday as a band of light snow moves in, briefly coating bridges and untreated surfaces during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, snow will develop before daybreak Wednesday and continue into early afternoon, with totals up to 1 inch possible, especially west of IN-15. Visibility may drop at times, and untreated roads could become slippery through late morning.
Cities including South Bend, Elkhart, and Fort Wayne may see minor accumulations on grassy areas, while stretches of I-69, I-80/90, and U.S. 30 could turn slick during peak travel hours. Conditions improve by mid to late afternoon as temperatures climb above freezing. By Thursday, light rain showers replace snow, creating wet roadways but reducing winter hazards.
The bigger shift arrives late week. Dry, milder air builds in Friday and strengthens into the weekend, pushing highs into the 60s and possibly low 70s by Saturday. Residents should use caution during the Wednesday morning commute and stay alert for changing road conditions.
More updates may follow if snowfall trends increase or travel impacts worsen early Wednesday.
