Fort Wayne, Indiana – A warm and partly cloudy day is unfolding across northern Indiana, with highs climbing into the low to mid-80s and a chance for an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm, especially for areas east of I-69. According to the National Weather Service, southeasterly winds remain light at under 10 mph, keeping air movement minimal as humidity levels rise through the afternoon.
Communities including Auburn, Angola, and Bluffton should stay weather-aware, as pop-up storms could bring brief heavy downpours and lightning between 2 and 7 p.m. Major routes like US-24 and US-30 east of I-69 could see slick spots if a storm develops, so drivers are encouraged to slow down in wet conditions. For most residents, outdoor plans should go uninterrupted, but it’s smart to keep an eye on the sky and have indoor options just in case.
With muggy conditions persisting, be sure to hydrate and check on neighbors sensitive to heat. The main threat will taper off by sunset, but a stray shower can’t be ruled out east of the interstate. Updates will follow if stronger storms develop later in the week.
