Fort Wayne, Indiana – Storms are back on the radar for Sunday, July 20th, with Fort Wayne residents facing the risk of downpours and lightning by late afternoon. Drivers along I-69 and US-24 should stay weather-aware after 2 p.m., as scattered thunderstorms could reduce visibility and cause ponding on roads. Outdoor events may need last-minute changes due to unstable conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, storms are likely after 2 p.m. Sunday, with a 50% chance of rainfall and possible gusty winds. Highs will reach near 82°F, with storms gradually ending by late evening. Sunday night will remain mostly cloudy, with lows around 64°F and a lingering chance of showers.
While Monday brings relief with sunny skies and a high near 82°F, the summer heat builds quickly. Tuesday and Wednesday will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s, with mostly sunny skies and high humidity. Thursday and Friday bring another storm risk, with chances of afternoon thunderstorms returning as highs remain in the 90s.
Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours, charge devices in case of power loss, and monitor local alerts. Cooling centers may open if heat indexes climb beyond safe limits by midweek.
Storm risks ease after Sunday, but summer heat returns fast — stay hydrated and plan for rising temperatures through Friday.
