Indiana commuters are scraping windshields in a sharp 23-degree start across Fort Wayne, with wind chills near 15 and patches of refrozen meltwater on side streets. Early sunshine glints off icy sidewalks, especially in shaded neighborhoods and along rural stretches outside Allen County.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, skies turn mostly sunny with highs reaching 42 degrees this afternoon. Winds stay light, and primary roads like I-69 and US-30 improve quickly by late morning. Still, slick spots may linger on bridges through midmorning.
Temperatures fall back to 30 degrees tonight under partly cloudy skies. Any water from today’s melt can refreeze after sunset. This is classic late-winter flash-freeze timing, when thawing pavement turns icy in just a few hours.
A noticeable spring tease builds Friday. Highs jump to 57 degrees with southwest winds gusting near 30 mph. Snowbanks shrink fast, and slush may collect near drains before colder air filters in Friday night.
Saturday turns cooler with highs near 46 degrees. A brief mix of rain and snow may develop between early afternoon and late day, followed by a chance of light snow Saturday night. Sunday stays colder with highs around 33 and another chance of snow by Sunday night into Monday.
Early next week moderates again, and the 6–10 day outlook signals above-normal temperatures heading into early March, hinting at gradual spring warmth across northeast Indiana.
