Indiana – A sharp Arctic bite settles over northern Indiana this morning as crisp air pools across open fields, pavement glints with early frost, and wind chills hover near zero. Conditions stay deceptively steady today, but a subtle shift arrives by Sunday, when light snow could brush Fort Wayne and surrounding counties as a developing clipper system pushes southeast.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures rebound only slightly through Saturday, keeping the region locked in freezing air. That sets the stage for a Sunday snow window, when passing moisture may drop 1 to 2 inches across parts of Allen County and nearby communities. Drivers should prepare for slushy spots by midafternoon Sunday as clouds thicken and visibility drops at times.
Cold air will hold firm well into next week. Forecast models show an early-season Winter Weather Tease, hinting at additional light snow chances Monday and Tuesday as temperatures swing near the freezing mark. Any brief warm-to-cold transition could allow for a quick freeze-up on untreated roads, especially in shaded neighborhoods and on bridges.
Meteorologists are also tracking a broader Great Lakes pattern developing for Dec. 11–17, when lake-effect bands may return as Christmas travel ramps up. It’s early, but the trend favors more frequent snow bursts for Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio—something residents should keep in mind as winter tightening continues.
Plan extra time if traveling Sunday. Keep coats, gloves, and windshield scrapers ready. Expect changing pavement conditions, especially during late-day errands.
