Indiana starts the morning under low clouds and damp air, with wet pavement reflecting headlights across northeast Indiana. The mild feel early fades quickly as colder air pushes in and winter hazards begin stacking up.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain develops today before mixing with snow later this evening. The transition brings light snow overnight into early Sunday, with accumulations staying under one inch. Winds increase from the west, adding a brisk edge and helping temperatures drop into the lower 20s.
In Fort Wayne, roads along I-69, I-469, and US-30 remain wet through the afternoon. As temperatures fall tonight, slick spots develop quickly, especially on bridges and elevated ramps. Even light snow can create travel issues when pavement temperatures drop fast.
Sunday brings another round of light snow during the morning into early afternoon. While totals remain minor, visibility briefly drops during snow showers. Highs only reach the mid-30s, keeping untreated roads slippery longer than usual. Gusty winds add to the chill and slow road recovery.
By Sunday night, skies turn mostly cloudy and temperatures fall back into the mid-20s. Any melting from daytime snow refreezes after dark, creating a flash-freeze risk across parking lots, sidewalks, and side streets. Drivers heading out early Monday should stay alert for hidden ice.
Early next week trends quieter but stays wintry. Monday turns mostly sunny near 40. Rain chances return Tuesday, followed by another rain-snow mix midweek as temperatures hover near freezing once again.
Plan errands earlier today, slow down once snow begins, and expect changing road conditions after sunset. Winter may look light on paper, but timing makes it impactful.
