Fort Wayne, IN – A crisp November morning is giving way to several days of changing temperatures across northeast Indiana, with a developing rain to snow possibility Thursday night into Friday.
The biggest concern isn't a major snowstorm. It's the transition from Tuesday's 62 degree warmth to temperatures near freezing by the end of the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service, Fort Wayne could reach 62 degrees Tuesday before temperatures fall near 30 degrees Thursday night.
That 32 degree swing creates an opportunity for rain showers to transition into snowflakes as colder air settles across Allen County.
Tuesday Warmth Before Veterans Day Changes Monday, Nov. 9, brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 57 degrees.
Light winds should make outdoor activities comfortable, especially during the afternoon.
Tuesday, Nov. 10, looks even warmer, with sunshine and temperatures climbing near 62 degrees.
Residents hoping to finish fall yardwork or clear leaves before colder weather arrives should consider using this opportunity.
However, conditions begin changing Wednesday.
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, features partly sunny skies before a slight chance of showers develops after 1 p.m.
The precipitation probability stands at 20%, with afternoon temperatures reaching approximately 57 degrees.
By Wednesday night, rain chances increase to 30%, with temperatures falling near 38 degrees.
Thursday Night Brings a Possible Snow Transition Thursday, Nov. 12, marks the more significant weather change.
Afternoon temperatures reach only 48 degrees, approximately 14 degrees cooler than Tuesday.
The National Weather Service indicates a 30% chance of showers, mainly before 1 p.m.
Thursday night brings the most interesting development.
Rain showers remain possible before 1 a.m. Friday, followed by a slight chance of snow showers.
Temperatures could fall near 30 degrees, allowing precipitation to change type as colder air arrives.
The overall precipitation probability Thursday night is 20%.
No measurable snowfall accumulation is specified in the current Fort Wayne outlook.
Still, the appearance of snow showers in the forecast is an early reminder that winter weather is approaching northeast Indiana.
Could Roads Become Slippery? Drivers traveling Interstate 69, Interstate 469 and other Allen County roads should monitor changing temperatures.
Wet pavement can become slippery when temperatures fall below freezing, particularly on bridges and untreated surfaces.
However, widespread icing or hazardous travel conditions are not currently indicated in the supplied forecast.
Friday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 45 degrees.
Temperatures fall again Friday night, reaching approximately 29 degrees.
That could create another opportunity for frost or freezing conditions.
Fort Wayne Five Day Weather Outlook Monday, Nov. 9: Mostly sunny, high 57°F, low 41°F. Tuesday, Nov. 10: Sunny, high 62°F, low 37°F. Wednesday, Nov. 11: Partly sunny, high 57°F, low 38°F. Rain chances increase to 30% Wednesday night. Thursday, Nov. 12: Chance of showers, high 48°F, low 30°F. Slight snow shower chance late Thursday night.
