Indiana starts the morning under a steel-gray sky, with cold air cutting across Fort Wayne. Temperatures sit at 34 degrees, but northwest winds gusting to 24 mph push the wind chill into the mid-20s. It feels sharper than it looks.
Highs reach only 32 degrees today under mostly cloudy skies. Winds continue at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts near 20 mph. While no snow is falling, any damp pavement from recent melt can refreeze in shaded spots. This is prime February flash-freeze season. Watch bridges and overpasses along I-69 and U.S. 30.
Tonight drops to around 20 degrees. Winds ease slightly but remain out of the northwest. Any untreated surface may turn slick after dark. Plan extra time for the morning drive and bundle up for bus stops.
Thursday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 33. Skies partially clear Thursday night, and lows dip again near 20. Sunshine returns Friday with highs near 40, offering a modest thaw just in time for Valentine’s Weekend, February 13-15.
Saturday looks mostly sunny and milder, with highs near 42. Sunday brings a slight 20 percent chance of rain and highs around 44. Temperatures remain above freezing, limiting winter precipitation concerns for now.
Early next week trends even milder. Highs climb into the mid-40s Monday and low 50s by Tuesday. Longer-range outlooks show above-average temperatures expanding across the central U.S. into late February, with readings running 10 to 20 degrees above normal. A spring tease may develop, but winter still reminds us who’s in charge this morning. How cold does it feel in your neighborhood?
