Indiana – Wet streets and low clouds set the tone early, but winter tightens its grip quickly today. What begins as a rain-and-snow mix will trend colder, windier, and more disruptive as temperatures slide toward freezing.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation today will shift from a wintry mix to mainly snow as colder air deepens across northern Indiana. Temperatures fall into the mid-20s, and northwest winds increase through the afternoon. While daytime snow accumulation stays light, slick pavement may develop as slush refreezes.
Across Fort Wayne and Allen County, roads like I-69, U.S. 30, and State Road 3 could turn slippery, especially on bridges and overpasses. Gusty winds near 20 mph may reduce visibility at times, even with lighter snowfall. Drivers should expect changing road conditions through the afternoon and evening.
Snow chances increase again Thursday night into Friday. Light snow becomes more widespread, with highs near 35 Friday before colder air returns. Any melting during the day may refreeze quickly after sunset, raising the risk for black ice heading into Friday night.
Colder air settles in for the weekend. Highs dip into the low 20s Saturday, with scattered snow showers continuing. Overnight lows fall into the teens, locking in icy conditions where snow compacts on untreated roads and sidewalks.
Looking ahead, winter stays active across northern Indiana. Snow chances linger into Sunday and early next week, while temperatures remain below seasonal averages. Longer-range outlooks suggest more cold air nearby, keeping travel concerns elevated.
Plan extra time if driving today and through Friday. Slow down on slushy roads and watch shaded areas carefully. Seeing slick spots already in your neighborhood? Let us know what conditions look like.
