Fort Wayne, IN – The day starts calm and bright across northern Indiana, but a major weather shift is already on the move. Clear skies and crisp air this morning will soon give way to a surge of moisture and a noticeable drop in temperature by midweek—right as Thanksgiving travel ramps up along I-69 and Route 30.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain arrives Tuesday afternoon and becomes steady into the evening. Temperatures will climb into the mid-50s before a sharp cold front sweeps through Tuesday night, ushering in gusty winds up to 40 mph. By Wednesday, skies turn cloudy and brisk, and forecasters say a few snowflakes could mix in as colder air spills across the region.
Thanksgiving Day itself looks dry but chilly, with highs near 33°F and a stiff northwest breeze making it feel even colder. It’ll be good travel weather for those heading to family gatherings—just bundle up for the morning parades or early football kickoffs.
By the weekend, models hint at another round of light snow across northern Indiana, signaling winter’s early arrival. For now, it’s a “winter tease” worth watching.

- Tuesday: Rain likely, high 56°F.
- Wednesday: Cloudy, flurries possible, 43°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Partly sunny, 33°F.
