Fort Wayne, Ind. – Drivers and families in northeast Indiana should prepare for a hot and unsettled week, with temperatures pushing near 90°F through Thursday before storms move in Saturday. Early-week sunshine will bring pleasant driving conditions on I-69 and local routes, but heat and later storm chances raise safety concerns.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, Tuesday will stay partly sunny with a high of 86°F, followed by a sunny Wednesday reaching 88°F. East winds remain light, but temperatures nearly 10 degrees above average could stress outdoor workers and vulnerable residents. Forecasters say the pattern holds until Friday before rain enters the picture.
Thursday continues the summerlike feel with highs in the upper 80s under sunny skies. By Saturday, however, a 20 percent chance of storms could disrupt plans, growing to a higher risk by Saturday night.
