Indiana weather feels unsettled this morning as 40-degree air drifts across Fort Wayne under mostly cloudy skies. A light northwest breeze keeps the chill in place, and colder pockets linger north of the Indiana Toll Road.
Light snowfall up to 1 inch is possible today, mainly north of the Toll Road. According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain and snow showers may mix in areas east and south of Fort Wayne later today. Roads should remain mostly wet, but brief slick spots can develop where bursts of snow fall harder.
Highs reach near 46 this afternoon before temperatures slide to 26 tonight. A few rain and snow showers are possible early, then a slight chance of snow continues into the pre-dawn hours. Any moisture left on pavement could refreeze as temperatures dip below freezing. This is prime flash-freeze season, especially on bridges along I-69 and US-30.
Sunday turns cooler with a high near 34 and partly sunny skies. Sunday night brings another snow chance, mainly south of US-30, with lows near 21. Accumulations look light, but minor coatings can still create slick travel.
Monday rebounds to 40 with dry weather. Then the pattern shifts. Rain becomes likely Monday night and intensifies Tuesday, with a 90% chance and steady rainfall through the day. Showers linger into Wednesday as highs climb into the mid-50s.
March opens with a warming trend. Highs push into the 60s by Thursday and mid-60s by Friday. Longer-range outlooks favor above-normal temperatures into next weekend, signaling early spring warmth after this late winter stretch.
