Fort Wayne, IN – A new daily snowfall record was set in Fort Wayne on Monday, November 10, according to the US National Weather Service Northern Indiana (NWS). Officials reported that 2.7 inches of snow fell within a 24-hour period, surpassing the city’s previous daily record of 1.2 inches set in 1928.
According to the NWS report issued at 12:52 a.m. Tuesday, this marks the largest 24-hour snowfall in Fort Wayne since January 25, 2023, when the city received 6.2 inches. Meteorologists say the snowfall was concentrated overnight, between 1 a.m. EST Monday and early Tuesday morning, as colder air settled across northeast Indiana.
The early-season snow came as temperatures dipped near freezing, coating roadways and lawns across Allen County and surrounding areas. While accumulation was modest, the timing and record-setting nature of the event underscore the region’s shift toward winter conditions.
Residents are advised to use caution during morning commutes, as slick patches may persist on untreated roads and bridges. The NWS says no additional snow is expected through midweek, but temperatures will remain in the low 30s overnight.
