Fort Wayne, IN – A wintry mix of light snow and freezing rain will affect parts of northern Indiana, southern Michigan, and northwest Ohio early Sunday morning, leading to potentially hazardous road conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, a band of light snow will move through the region, with some areas seeing a brief changeover to freezing rain before precipitation ends around 11 a.m. EST (10 a.m. CST). While accumulation will be minimal, slick roads are possible, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Cities impacted include Fort Wayne, South Bend, Elkhart, and Warsaw in Indiana, as well as Sturgis and Hillsdale in Michigan and Defiance and Napoleon in Ohio. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and maintain a safe following distance on the roads.
Authorities urge caution, particularly during the morning commute. If traveling, slow down, use headlights, and avoid sudden braking. Warmer temperatures in the afternoon should help improve road conditions.
