Fort Wayne, IN – A clipper system moving through Indiana is expected to bring measurable snow beginning Thursday night, creating slick road conditions and potential travel disruptions into Friday morning. Local authorities urge drivers to plan for reduced visibility and icy roads, especially on major routes like I-69.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will begin late Thursday night, intensifying before midnight. Snow accumulations are forecasted to be near 1 inch, which is sufficient to cause hazardous conditions during the Friday morning commute. Temperatures are expected to dip into the upper 20s, with wind chills in the teens.
Friday’s snow is likely to taper off by noon, with daytime highs reaching the low 30s under cloudy skies. However, roads may remain slick due to subfreezing temperatures. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, reducing visibility further in some areas.
Looking ahead, Saturday will bring much colder weather, with morning lows around 13°F and highs barely reaching the upper 20s. Sunny skies are expected, but the bitter cold will persist through Sunday. A slight chance of rain and snow returns Monday afternoon as temperatures rise slightly.
Drivers should allow extra time for their commute Friday and use caution on untreated roads. Residents are advised to stay informed with real-time updates from the National Weather Service and local authorities.
