Indiana wakes to a crisp, gray sky today as light flakes drift across wet pavement and wind sweeps over open fields — a clear sign that Winter Weather conditions will intensify fast as Post-Thanksgiving travel ramps up. Drivers heading out this morning through Sunday should expect changing visibility, slick stretches, and growing snowfall rates across northeast Indiana as the first significant winter system of the season tightens.
According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from late today through Sunday afternoon, with 7–12 inches of snow possible northwest of Logansport to Warsaw and toward Hillsdale, Michigan, and 6–8 inches farther southeast toward Fort Wayne. Winds may gust 20–25 mph at times, which could push snow across rural roads and slow travel during peak return-trip hours Saturday and Sunday.
Plan extra time if using I-69, US-30, or any county routes tonight into Sunday.
Meteorologists now track a broad winter storm spreading east from the Rockies later today. Snow becomes steady Saturday, then intensifies Saturday night. Bands may shift quickly, and conditions could deteriorate by afternoon. A few areas under lake-effect influence — especially northwest of Fort Wayne — may briefly see higher localized rates.
Sunday brings a mix of light snow and lingering wind before temperatures slide toward the upper teens by Monday morning. This colder push marks an early December Winter Tease, with models hinting at additional snow chances and a wider December 2–6 cold front dropping temperatures well below normal across the Midwest.
