Cold air stings your face in Fort Wayne this morning, and damp pavement glistens under gray skies. Temperatures sit at 29 degrees with a wind chill near 20, cold enough for slick spots on untreated roads. If you’re heading along I-69 or Coliseum Boulevard, watch for patchy ice where early moisture meets freezing pavement.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, rain chances increase after midmorning with highs climbing to 44 degrees. Any early slick areas should improve as temperatures rise above freezing. Still, shaded bridges and ramps could stay slippery for a few more hours.
Showers taper later this evening with lows near 34. By Wednesday, a chance of rain and even a thunderstorm develops after midday, pushing highs to 50 degrees. Rain becomes steadier Wednesday night into Thursday. Highs surge to 61 Thursday with a 90 percent chance of rain and embedded storms.
Friday turns milder with highs near 69 and scattered showers. Rain chances linger into Saturday with highs near 68 before skies clear Sunday and temperatures settle in the lower 60s.
This active March pattern signals a shift toward spring warmth across Indiana. Early next week trends drier with highs in the mid-60s. Longer-range signals favor above-normal temperatures through the 6–10 day outlook.
Remember, clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday. We gain nearly 90 minutes of daylight this month across northern Indiana.
