Indiana wakes to a gray, restless sky this Saturday as a biting northwest wind sweeps across Fort Wayne. Streetlights glow against drifting flakes, and wet pavement flashes silver whenever passing cars spray mist. Drivers heading into post-Thanksgiving travel should expect quick weather swings today and fast-changing road conditions by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, a snow chance increases today with more frequent bursts arriving by late evening. Winds push 20–25 mph at times, with gusts near 30 mph creating pockets of reduced visibility on I-69, US-30, and county roads stretching north and west. Plan extra time and avoid sudden braking; slushy patches may form in exposed areas.
Meteorologists now track a Saturday night heavy snow potential, especially before 4 a.m. as a stronger band sweeps in from Illinois. Models hint at 1 to 2 inches of accumulation in the Fort Wayne area, though isolated pockets could see slightly higher totals where bands linger. To be fair, this system remains sensitive to minor temperature shifts—any warm-to-cold transition may create a brief rain-snow mix, increasing the chance of slick spots.
Sunday brings a rain-snow mix again, tapering to snow showers by afternoon. Highs hover in the mid-30s, but the wind keeps conditions feeling raw. Monday turns mostly cloudy and cold with highs near 28°, and Tuesday holds similar chill with a chance of light snow. Wednesday stays partly sunny but cold, barely reaching 30°.
National outlooks highlight below-normal temperatures December 2–6, with colder air pushing from the Upper Midwest into Indiana. This early-December pattern increases the likelihood of additional snow chances, giving residents a firm winter preview.
