Fort Wayne, Indiana – Another dry stretch is settling over northeastern Indiana, with Fort Wayne heading into a week of wall-to-wall sunshine, rising temps, and no measurable rain through at least Friday, September 12.
According to the National Weather Service and NOAA’s 6–10 day precipitation outlook, Allen County sits firmly in a below-normal rainfall zone this week. That means day after day of sunny skies, increasingly warm afternoons, and growing concern about dry ground conditions, especially near wooded areas and along I-69.
After a cool start to the morning, high temperatures will climb steadily — from the low 70s Monday to the mid-80s by Thursday. Overnight lows stay refreshingly cool in the 40s and 50s. But light winds, clear skies, and dry air make for a prime setup for brush fires, especially in rural zones southwest of Fort Wayne and near Leo-Cedarville.
Officials recommend delaying open burning and keeping a close watch on outdoor flames. With little moisture return expected until at least early next week, vegetation will continue to dry out — potentially triggering local fire advisories.
If you’re planning outdoor work or travel along U.S. Route 24 or I-69, expect excellent visibility, calm winds, and hot pavement by midweek.
