FORT WAYNE, Indiana – Low clouds and mist settled across Allen County early Friday morning, wrapping roads in a soft haze and coating pavement with light drizzle. Visibility dropped below a mile at times, especially south of I-469, making for slow commutes and slick intersections across northeast Indiana. The fog will fade by midmorning, but another system is already taking aim at the region — with rain on the horizon as Thanksgiving week approaches.
According to the National Weather Service in northern Indiana, patchy fog and drizzle will give way to partial clearing this afternoon, followed by a calm, mostly sunny weekend. Temperatures will hover in the mid-40s Saturday and climb to the mid-50s by Sunday under clear skies — ideal for outdoor plans or early holiday travel.
A stronger warm front develops Monday, pulling moisture northward and spreading light to moderate rain through Monday night into Tuesday. Rain totals could reach up to a half inch in some areas. Travelers heading west along I-69 or east into Ohio should watch for slower travel times and wet roads. Cooler, drier air moves in midweek, with a few lingering showers possible Wednesday as Thanksgiving preparations ramp up.
Nationally, weather models suggest a developing pattern of heavy snow — possibly 3–8 inches — across parts of the Midwest and Northeast between November 25 and December 3. For Fort Wayne, the focus will shift to colder air after Thanksgiving, signaling the region’s transition toward early winter.
