Indiana is waking up to a cold, gray sky as light snow showers drift across Fort Wayne, lightly coating roads and creating slick spots for early drivers. Temperatures sit near 21°F, and wind chills near 11°F make surfaces freeze quickly, especially on bridges and rural roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, a 40 percent chance of snow showers continues through late morning, with the best chance for light accumulation along and west of I-69. Winds from the south between 5 and 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, may reduce visibility at times.
Drivers across Allen, DeKalb, and Whitley counties should expect patchy slick conditions through midday. Roads may appear wet but can quickly freeze underneath. Plan extra time and avoid sudden stops, especially on elevated roadways and ramps.
Flooding adds another concern across the region. The St. Joseph River near Newville remains under a flood warning, with minor flooding impacting nearby roads and low-lying farmland. Water levels near 12 feet are affecting areas along DeKalb County Road 42. Never drive through flooded roadways.
By afternoon, temperatures climb toward 41°F, helping improve road conditions. Thursday brings a shift to rain with highs near 52°F, continuing the gradual warm-up.
Friday marks a noticeable change as temperatures rise to around 65°F under mostly cloudy skies, signaling the arrival of spring warmth. Saturday stays mild near 66°F with sunshine returning.
