Fort Wayne, IN – Northern Indiana residents could see their first taste of wintry precipitation later this week as a developing weather system brings rain Wednesday before colder air potentially changes precipitation to a rain and snow mix Thursday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, temperatures will begin the week above normal before dropping below seasonal averages heading into the weekend.
The forecast issued Monday, Nov. 9, highlights a noticeable shift from mild autumn conditions to colder, potentially wintry weather.

Wednesday afternoon highs are expected to reach 54 to 62 degrees before temperatures fall into the mid to upper 30s overnight.
Snow Could Mix With Rain Thursday Night A stronger push of colder air is expected later Thursday, Nov. 12, into Thursday night.
Forecasters indicate a 40% to 50% chance of precipitation Thursday, with breezy conditions and highs between 45 and 49 degrees.
As temperatures fall, rain could mix with snow late Thursday night into early Friday.
