Indiana, Fort Wayne – Dense fog hangs low over neighborhoods and farm fields this morning as temperatures sit near 23 degrees, cutting visibility and creating slick patches before the late-winter thaw builds in.

Patchy fog lingers through midmorning, then sunshine takes over with highs climbing to 45. According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, southwest winds increase to 10 mph this afternoon before skies turn partly cloudy tonight with lows near 27.

That temperature drop raises a refreeze concern. Melted frost and damp pavement can harden quickly after sunset, especially on bridges along I-69 and US-24. Drivers should slow down before sunrise Saturday and watch shaded overpasses.

Saturday turns partly sunny and mild, with highs near 46. Saturday night stays mostly cloudy with a slight 20% chance of rain after 1 a.m. Lows settle around 33, keeping most roads simply wet if showers develop.

Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 51. Sunday night cools to 33 under partly cloudy conditions. President’s Day Monday continues the February thaw with highs reaching 53 and light south winds.

Tuesday pushes even warmer, with highs near 56 under mostly cloudy skies. Midweek rain chances increase, with highs climbing into the lower 60s by Wednesday as a broader warm front pattern spreads across the central U.S.

The 6- to 10-day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Indiana, signaling early spring vibes into late next week.
