FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The air feels damp and restless this morning across northeast Indiana, with thin clouds drifting under a brightening sky and a light breeze sweeping over wet lawns. It’s a transitional start to the day — the kind of cool calm that hints at the shifting balance between late fall warmth and an approaching November chill.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, a few light showers are expected to develop late today and again Thursday, mainly north of U.S. 24. The system remains weak but could leave slick spots for commuters during the early afternoon. Most areas will dry out by Friday as cooler, drier air settles in just in time for Halloween evening.
Trick-or-treat weather looks ideal by comparison — partly cloudy skies, light winds, and temperatures sliding from the lower 50s at sunset to the upper 30s late. Costumes with layers will go a long way, especially for kids out past dusk. No rain is expected during key evening hours, and visibility will be clear for drivers and pedestrians alike.
Winds turn briefly north Friday, signaling the season’s next cool push. Saturday brings mostly sunny skies but highs only in the low 50s, a fitting setup for leaf cleanup or football Saturday. By Sunday, sunshine returns with slightly milder air before a new system early next week may bring the region’s first chance at scattered November rain — and perhaps, later, an early taste of winter air.
Don’t forget to turn clocks back early Sunday morning. A chilly November lies ahead.
