Indiana greets the morning under a dim winter sky as light snow drifts through the air. Wind slides across open fields, flakes cling to headlights, and pavement feels slick before sunrise.

Northern Indiana remains under dangerous winter conditions early today. According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, wind chills range from 10 to 15 degrees below zero away from Lake Michigan. These bitter conditions persist through the morning, especially across Fort Wayne and surrounding counties.

In Fort Wayne, temperatures hover near 6 degrees with light snow and mist reducing visibility. Wind chills dip well below zero, increasing the risk of frostbite with extended exposure. Drivers on I-69, I-469, and US-30 should expect slick spots, especially on bridges and untreated ramps. Even brief snow showers can cause sudden slowdowns.

Snow chances continue through the day at times, though accumulations remain light. The bigger concern is refreezing. Any snow that melts during daytime lulls can freeze again quickly after sunset. Plan extra time for errands and avoid sudden braking.

Conditions improve slightly Sunday as sunshine returns. Highs reach the lower 20s, though wind chills stay near 10 below during the morning. Roads improve, but shaded areas remain icy through the afternoon.

Another system approaches early next week. Monday brings a renewed chance for snow showers, mainly before early afternoon. Highs approach the upper 20s, warm enough for snow to become slushy during the day but icy again by evening. Additional light snow remains possible Tuesday as colder air settles back in.

Looking deeper into the first week of February, winter stays active across northern Indiana. Temperatures remain below normal, and small snow chances continue to disrupt travel plans at times.

Cold air and snow are working together right now. How are road conditions where you’re driving this morning?
