Fort Wayne, IN – Snow showers and freezing temperatures are set to linger across Northern Indiana through Sunday. Residents should prepare for icy roads and frigid conditions, with highs in the 30s today and lows plunging into the teens tonight.
According to the National Weather Service, snow chances are slight but possible between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. today, with mostly cloudy skies persisting afterward. Tonight, temperatures are expected to dip between 16 and 22 degrees. Wind chills will make conditions feel even colder, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph.
Residents near rivers and tributaries should remain vigilant, as the NWS has issued a hydrologic outlook warning of possible ice jams and isolated flooding over the next week. As bitter cold continues, any warming trends could exacerbate river ice conditions, increasing flood risks. Authorities urge locals to report potential hazards and monitor updates.
Looking ahead, the forecast predicts partly sunny skies Sunday with a high near 27 and overnight lows of 17 degrees. Monday will bring slight relief with highs near 35, though gusty southwest winds could reach 25 mph. By Tuesday and Wednesday, highs will rise to the upper 30s, with partly sunny skies offering some reprieve from the cold.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution on untreated roads, as icy patches may develop, particularly during overnight hours. Those commuting early should prepare for reduced visibility due to lingering snow showers and freezing fog in some areas.
