Fort Wayne, Ind. – Drivers in northern Indiana should expect slick roads and possible ponding Monday as moderate to heavy rainfall moves in late morning, with lingering showers through Tuesday. A few rumbles of thunder may also accompany the system.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, an upper-level low spinning over the Ohio River Valley will keep rain chances high through Tuesday night. Rainfall may become steady in areas like South Bend, Elkhart, and Fort Wayne by Monday afternoon, continuing into Tuesday, especially in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio.
Temperatures will stay cooler than average, with highs only in the low to mid-60s Monday and Tuesday. Tonight’s lows are forecast between 45 and 48 degrees, with patchy drizzle likely. Travel could be impacted during the Monday evening commute, particularly where rainfall is heaviest.
Residents are urged to check local road conditions and use caution on slick surfaces. Charge mobile devices ahead of time and monitor alerts in case any strong storms develop.
Conditions begin to improve Wednesday, with partly cloudy skies and highs climbing into the low 70s. Sunshine and seasonable weather are expected to return fully by Thursday.
