Fort Wayne, IN – A strong cold front moving across Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan is expected to bring sharply falling temperatures, gusty winds, and light snow through early Thursday morning. Commuters may face hazardous road conditions due to slick surfaces and reduced visibility.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will drop into the mid and upper 20s overnight, causing rain to transition into snow. Most areas will see less than an inch of snow accumulation, but lake-enhanced snowfall in northwest Indiana and southwest Michigan could lead to localized totals of 1 to 3 inches.
Winds are expected to gust between 35 and 45 mph, creating the potential for blowing snow and sudden reductions in visibility, especially in areas experiencing heavier snow showers. The combination of snow and strong winds could lead to hazardous travel conditions, particularly on open roads and highways.
Snow is expected to taper off by the Thursday morning commute, but slick roads may persist due to the colder temperatures. Drivers are advised to use caution, allow extra travel time, and secure any loose outdoor objects due to strong winds.
For updated weather alerts and road conditions, residents are encouraged to check with local authorities and the National Weather Service.
