Fort Wayne, IN – A gray morning hangs low across northern Indiana, where the air feels heavier and colder with each passing hour. The region is staring down a quick but biting winter shift — light snow Sunday followed by dangerous cold and wind chills plunging below zero by Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, light snow is expected to begin late Saturday night and continue through Sunday morning, producing 1 to 3 inches of accumulation in some areas. While totals remain modest, forecasters warn that untreated rural roads and open fields could become slick from drifting snow and icy patches.
Temperatures will tumble fast behind this clipper system. By Sunday night, readings will drop into the single digits, and wind chills could make it feel below zero by dawn Monday. Anyone traveling along I-69, U.S. 24, or I-80/90 should prepare for reduced visibility and slippery stretches, particularly on shaded or elevated surfaces.
Meteorologists say Monday and Tuesday will stay bitterly cold, with highs near 21°F and lows close to 7°F. Warmer air moves in briefly by midweek, but models hint at a rain–snow mix Tuesday night into Wednesday, setting up another potential freeze risk as temperatures fall again later next week.
5-Day Outlook:
- Sunday: Light snow, high 31°F, low 5°F.
- Monday: Sunny but cold, high 21°F, low 7°F.
- Tuesday: Clouds return, snow chance late, high 35°F.
- Wednesday: Rain and snow likely, high 37°F.
- Thursday: Chance of snow, high near 27°F.
