Fort Wayne, Indiana – A stretch of summer-like warmth begins Sunday across northeast Indiana, but travelers should brace for storms by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies and a calm breeze will lift Sunday highs to 72°F. Temperatures will climb further Monday and Tuesday, topping out near 86°F both days. The early week heat will feel more like July, not June 1st, setting the stage for unstable air and rising storm chances by Wednesday.
Drivers along I-69 and surrounding roadways should prepare for possible downpours and lightning starting after 2 p.m. Wednesday, when scattered showers and thunderstorms develop. The most intense weather is expected Wednesday night, with a 70% chance of storms and overnight lows dipping to 65°F. Wind gusts and localized flooding are possible.
Until then, sunshine dominates the extended forecast. Monday brings highs near 82°F with light winds, and Tuesday stays mostly sunny. Air quality could be hazy at times due to wildfire smoke drifting from Canada, though no direct health alerts are in place.
Residents are urged to stay weather-aware and charge devices ahead of Wednesday’s storm threat. If outdoor plans are scheduled midweek, consider shifting them to early in the week.
Extended Forecast Tease:
Thursday remains stormy with highs in the low 80s and a 70% chance of thunderstorms. Friday brings some relief with drier air and highs in the upper 70s. This stretch marks a classic June weather pattern — summer heat early, storms midweek, and cooler air to end the workweek.
More updates expected if Wednesday’s storm risk increases.
