Indiana wakes up to a chilly, gray start, with cold air gripping Fort Wayne and pavement still holding that early-morning bite.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures hover near 37°F with north winds around 13 mph. Wind chills dip closer to 29°F, making it feel sharper for anyone heading out. Roads remain mostly dry, but shaded areas and bridges can stay slick early, especially along I-69 and U.S. 30.
Conditions improve quickly through the day. Skies turn partly sunny, and temperatures climb to the mid-40s by afternoon. It’s a brief calm before a notable warmup spreads across the region.
Expect a steady climb through midweek. Highs reach the low 50s Tuesday, then surge into the mid-60s Wednesday. By Thursday, temperatures jump to around 75°F, signaling a strong push of spring warmth across northern Indiana.
That warmth fuels the next system. Showers develop Thursday, with thunderstorms possible by afternoon and evening. Rain becomes more likely Thursday night, with wet roads and reduced visibility during commutes.
Colder air rushes back in by Friday. Rain may mix with snow early, especially before temperatures rebound into the mid-40s. This setup raises a flash freeze concern late Thursday night into early Friday where water lingers.
Plan ahead for changing conditions. Keep layers handy and allow extra travel time later this week. Are you seeing slick spots on your commute this morning?
