Fort Wayne, Indiana – A snowy and potentially slick start to the day is impacting northern Indiana, with light snow and the possibility of freezing drizzle creating travel concerns this morning.
According to the National Weather Service Northern Indiana, light snow showers are ongoing early today, with freezing drizzle or a light glaze possible at times, particularly during the morning hours. These conditions may create slick spots on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses.
Temperatures are expected to warm slightly through the day, with afternoon highs reaching the upper 20s, which may help improve road conditions. Winds will be breezy at times, contributing to reduced visibility during periods of snow.
Additional light snow showers are expected tonight into Tuesday, mainly south of US-30. Overall snowfall totals are forecast to remain under one inch, limiting widespread impacts. However, even light snow can lead to slippery travel, especially during overnight hours.
Major travel corridors including Interstate 69 near Fort Wayne, I-80/90 near South Bend and Elkhart, and US-30 across northern Indiana may see changing conditions as snow showers move through. Drivers are encouraged to use caution, slow down, and allow extra stopping distance.
By Tuesday night, colder air will move back into the region, with overnight lows dropping into the single digits to near 10 degrees. These colder temperatures could allow any remaining moisture on roads to refreeze, creating additional slick spots early Wednesday.
The National Weather Service notes that while today will feel slightly warmer compared to recent days, winter conditions remain firmly in place, with multiple periods of light snow and cold temperatures continuing through midweek.
Morning commuters, students, and overnight shift workers may experience the greatest impacts due to timing. Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and road conditions as winter weather continues across northern Indiana.
