Fort Wayne, Indiana – A surge of heavy rain and thunderstorms could drench Fort Wayne by 2 p.m. Wednesday, with gusty winds and downpours threatening local travel through Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread showers and possibly a thunderstorm will push into northeast Indiana mid-afternoon Wednesday and continue into the evening. Gusts may reach 25 mph, especially along major routes like US-30 and I-469. Isolated lightning and ponding on roadways are possible through at least 8 p.m.
Showers return Thursday and may include a few thunderstorms. While rainfall totals aren’t expected to be extreme, drivers should watch for slick roads and reduced visibility during the afternoon commute. Allen, DeKalb, and Wells counties will see the greatest impact.
By Friday, the atmosphere becomes more unstable, prompting a higher chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Temperatures will dip slightly, with highs in the mid-70s offering a break from recent summer-like heat.
Residents should avoid non-essential travel during downpours, keep phones charged in case of power outages, and secure outdoor items ahead of wind gusts.
Storm chances taper off heading into the weekend. Saturday looks dry and mostly sunny, with highs near 74°F — the calm after the midweek system.
