Fort Wayne, Ind. – Breezy winds and steady rainfall are drenching northern Indiana today, with some areas facing up to 1.5 inches of rain by early Monday morning, raising concerns for waterlogged roads and slow travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain began spreading from southeast to northwest early Saturday and will continue through tonight before tapering in coverage. Most locations can expect between 0.5 and 1 inch of rainfall, but isolated heavier pockets could push totals higher, especially in northeast counties.
Cities including Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Warsaw will remain under persistent showers throughout the day. Roads may become slick, particularly along U.S. 30 and I-69 corridors, and breezy conditions could make driving more difficult for high-profile vehicles. Rain is expected to return Monday afternoon and linger into Tuesday, with Tuesday’s heaviest showers likely east of I-69.
Residents in LaGrange, Elkhart, and Steuben counties should monitor for brief localized ponding on roads and ensure storm drains remain clear. Keeping phones charged and limiting non-essential travel during heavier bursts is advised.
Dry weather is expected to return by midweek, with seasonal temperatures and calmer skies likely after Tuesday. Updates will be issued as needed throughout the weekend.
