FORT WAYNE, Indiana – Rain streaks across windshields and the sound of steady gusts marks a restless start to Sunday across northern Indiana. A sprawling fall storm system is moving through the region, bringing rounds of showers, gusty winds, and a sharp drop in temperatures by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, widespread rain and a few thunderstorms will continue through midday, with gusts near 35 mph at times. The heaviest rain is expected along the I-69 corridor through Fort Wayne and Auburn, tapering off gradually toward evening. Drivers should prepare for reduced visibility and standing water on rural roads, particularly near low-lying farmland.
As the storm exits, skies will clear late Sunday night into Monday, setting up a bright but cooler start to the new week. Monday’s high near 63°F comes with calmer southwest winds and plenty of sunshine — a welcome shift after the damp weekend.
Tuesday looks dry for most areas, though scattered light showers could return by late afternoon. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s to near 60°F through midweek before dipping into the 30s by early Thursday. While no frost is expected yet, the pattern shift hints at colder nights on the horizon — the kind that often signals Indiana’s first real taste of late fall.
By next weekend, sunshine and highs near 56°F will make for crisp, picture-perfect conditions ideal for harvest work or Halloween decorating.
