Fort Wayne, Indiana – Thunderstorms could rattle Fort Wayne by Monday night, bringing gusty winds and heavy rain to Northeast Indiana just in time for the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain will increase Monday after 2 p.m., with thunderstorms likely between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. A second round of scattered showers may persist overnight. Winds will calm late, but isolated downpours could lead to standing water on roads like I-69, U.S. 30, and I-469.
Motorists should reduce speed during the Monday evening rush, as ponding on highways and reduced visibility may cause delays. Gusts could reach 25 mph during storms. Rainfall totals may approach a half inch in some areas, especially during intense bursts of precipitation.

By Wednesday, highs climb into the low 70s with mostly sunny skies and a welcome break from the rain. Light showers could return briefly Wednesday night, but Thursday and Friday appear clear and mild—ideal for springtime travel and outdoor plans.
