Fort Wayne, Ind. – Patchy fog could develop late tonight across northern Indiana, but the region’s dominant story remains a prolonged stretch of dry, warm weather that will linger into the end of the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, increasing high clouds tonight may combine with light winds to create fog in low-lying areas. Lows will hold in the upper 40s to low 50s, which is above seasonal averages.
Wednesday is expected to stay partly cloudy and breezy, with highs climbing into the mid-70s to low 80s across Fort Wayne, South Bend, and surrounding communities. Roads and air travel should see minimal weather-related impacts, though drivers are urged to slow down in early morning fog-prone corridors such as U.S. 30 and I-69.
Thursday will bring another round of sunshine and slightly warmer air, with highs reaching the upper 70s. Emergency managers say the ongoing dry spell has reduced concerns about flooding but could raise the risk of elevated fire danger in rural fields and grassy areas.
The stretch of quiet, mild weather is expected to last through the weekend, with no major systems on the horizon. Residents should check back for updates if fire safety advisories are issued later this week.
