Fort Wayne, IN – Indiana wakes beneath a clear, cold sky as a pale glow lifts over frost-coated fields and quiet neighborhoods. The crisp air and calm dawn create a false sense of stillness before a developing Winter Tease sends moisture toward northeast Indiana just as Thanksgiving travel ramps up.
According to the National Weather Service Northern Indiana office, sunshine holds early with highs rising toward the upper 40s. Light west winds may still kick up sharp gusts along exposed stretches of I-69 and US-30. Residents should brace for colder pavement after sunset and prep vehicles for Tuesday’s unsettled weather.
According to forecasters, clouds thicken tonight while a rain–snow mix builds north of US-30. Accumulation stays minimal, but brief slick spots could form on bridges and untreated rural roads. Visibility may change quickly during heavier bursts, so travelers should allow extra time for late-evening or early-morning trips.
According to emerging guidance, Tuesday brings steadier rainfall with highs in the low 40s. A brief mix may linger at daybreak before warmer air shifts precipitation to all rain through mid-morning. New rainfall between a tenth and a quarter of an inch could cause ponding near low-lying intersections and ramps across Allen County, slowing early holiday travel from Auburn to downtown Fort Wayne.
According to early projections, Wednesday turns mostly cloudy and seasonable with highs near the upper 40s. Thursday and Friday trend wetter again as another system moves in from the Plains, bringing higher rain chances and gusty pockets. The weekend appears more promising, offering windows for leaf cleanup, early decorating or flexible Thanksgiving travel across northeast Indiana.
