Fort Wayne, IN – Northern Indiana is experiencing worsening drought conditions this week, coupled with temperatures 15 degrees above average. The U.S. National Weather Service forecasts highs reaching between 84 to 90 degrees through Saturday. Fort Wayne and surrounding areas are expected to be hit hardest by the hot, dry conditions.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, patchy dense fog is likely Thursday morning, especially north of Fort Wayne.

The heat wave will persist through the week, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday seeing temperatures in the upper 80s. A few sprinkles are possible near Lake Michigan on Friday, but these will offer little relief. The lack of rain and high temperatures create concerns for crops and local water supplies.
