Fort Wayne, Ind. – Hot and humid air will grip northern Indiana through Sunday before giving way to potentially severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening.

According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, highs will climb into the upper 80s to low 90s on Sunday, with low chances (15–20%) for a pop-up storm. By Monday, conditions turn wetter and more volatile, with a 70–90% chance of storms developing in the late afternoon and evening hours. Some could bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning, especially along U.S. 30 and the I-69 corridor.

Cities like South Bend, Warsaw, and Fort Wayne should prepare for possible delays and reduced visibility during Monday’s commute home. Hoosiers are urged to secure outdoor items, avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm hours, and keep phones charged in case of power outages.

By Tuesday, conditions stabilize. Sunshine returns with highs in the low 80s and drier air moving in, providing a break from the tropical humidity. This pattern is expected to hold through midweek, keeping skies quiet and temperatures near seasonal averages.

Additional watches or warnings may be issued if storm intensity increases. Stay tuned to local updates through Monday evening.
