Fort Wayne, Indiana – A gray, wintry sky hangs low over Allen County this Veterans Day morning as faint snow flurries swirl beneath the streetlights. The thermometer sits near 26°F, and wind gusts from the west add an extra sting to the early chill. Roads remain mostly clear, but bridges and rural stretches may see light dustings through sunrise — a gentle reminder that winter is creeping closer.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, a brief round of flurries or light snow may linger through midmorning, mainly north and east of Fort Wayne. No major accumulation is expected, but slick spots could briefly develop on untreated surfaces and elevated roads. Temperatures will climb into the upper 30s by afternoon, with steady southwest winds gusting up to 30 mph at times.
The cold pattern finally relaxes midweek. Sunshine returns Wednesday with highs near 44°F, followed by a string of calmer, mild days through Friday. Highs will steadily reach into the 50s, even near 55°F by the end of the week — a much-welcomed break for outdoor cleanup, veterans’ observances, and early holiday decorating.
Looking ahead, a weak system may bring scattered showers late Saturday or Sunday, but no wintry weather is expected in the short term. However, forecasters note that long-range models hint at colder air dropping into the Midwest before Thanksgiving — a “winter tease” that could bring the season’s next significant pattern shift.
For now, Hoosiers can expect frosty mornings, sun-filled afternoons, and quiet travel weather across the I-69 corridor through the end of the workweek.
