Indiana weather turns murky this morning as fog thickens across northern counties, softening streetlights and blurring the edges of familiar roads. Damp air hangs low over fields and neighborhoods, making the morning drive slower and more deliberate.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, fog develops after daybreak and may become locally dense through mid to late morning. Visibility could drop quickly in spots across northeast Indiana, southwest Michigan, and northwest Ohio. Conditions gradually improve later today as mixing increases.
In Fort Wayne, visibility reductions are already noticeable near I-69, I-469, and U.S. 30. School drop-offs and commuters should expect sudden fog banks, especially near open land and river valleys. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low beams, and allow extra space between vehicles.
Temperatures climb into the mid-40s this afternoon as patchy drizzle ends and fog lifts. Wednesday brings a quieter stretch, with patchy fog early and partial sunshine later. Highs remain in the mid-40s, offering a brief break in active weather.
Changes arrive Thursday. Rain develops by afternoon and becomes more widespread Thursday night, pushing highs toward the upper 50s. That warmth is short-lived. By Friday night into Saturday, colder air returns, and rain may mix with snow as temperatures fall back toward freezing. Minor travel impacts are possible if precipitation lingers into colder hours.
This back-and-forth pattern defines the first full week of January 2026, with winter hazards never far away. Fog, wet roads, and rapid temperature shifts keep travel conditions unpredictable.
