Fort Wayne, Indiana – Showers and a few thunderstorms will move into northeast Indiana by Tuesday afternoon, bringing a soggy shift from today’s sunshine. Drivers in Allen County should expect wet roads near I-69 and I-469, with rainfall likely beginning around 2 p.m. and continuing into Wednesday.

According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, Tuesday brings a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms after 2 p.m., with highs near 69°F and gusts up to 20 mph. The heaviest activity is expected late Tuesday evening into early Wednesday, with more showers likely before 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Rain could dampen morning commutes and early week plans across Fort Wayne, New Haven, and Huntington. Motorists should slow down on wet pavement, especially near construction zones on I-469. With gusty winds possible, loose outdoor items should be secured. There are no severe thunderstorm warnings yet, but lightning and brief downpours may accompany storms.

By Wednesday night, skies turn mostly cloudy as precipitation tapers. Thursday looks drier with just a slight 20% chance of afternoon showers and highs climbing back to 69°F. Warmer summer-like temperatures return Friday, with highs near 73°F and mostly sunny skies.

Looking ahead, the weekend brings mild and mostly dry weather. Saturday and Sunday each hold only a slight chance of showers, with highs reaching the mid-70s — ideal for outdoor plans.
