Indiana’s quiet, cool air is giving way to a much more active spring pattern, and clouds are already lining up for multiple rounds of rain and storms. Dry pavement won’t last long as moisture builds quickly across northern Indiana.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, periodic thunderstorms are expected from Monday through midweek, with the strongest potential arriving late Tuesday into Wednesday. Some storms could become strong, and locally heavy rainfall is possible.
Fort Wayne reaches 79°F today with partly sunny skies and gusty winds up to 35 mph. Travel along I-69 and US-30 remains smooth for now, but increasing clouds signal changes ahead. Plan errands early while roads stay dry.
By Monday afternoon, rain chances jump to 60%, with showers and thunderstorms developing after 2 p.m. Expect slick roads and slower commutes as bursts of rain reduce visibility.
Tuesday brings another round, with highs near 80°F and scattered storms developing again during the afternoon. Conditions may briefly improve, but the atmosphere stays primed for more activity.
The most impactful period arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday, when rain chances climb to 70–80%. Repeated storms could drop heavier rainfall, increasing the risk of ponding on roads and minor flooding in low-lying areas.
Thursday keeps the unsettled trend going with additional storm chances near 40%, though intensity may ease slightly.
Looking ahead, this pattern reflects a broader spring storm track across the Midwest and Great Lakes. Warmer air continues to build, signaling above-normal temperatures into late week.
If you’re traveling over the next few days, keep rain gear ready and allow extra time. Storms may develop quickly. What conditions are you seeing on your roads today?
