Fort Wayne, Ind. – Isolated showers may catch some northern Indiana residents off guard Friday, but a broader shift toward cooler, wetter weather is expected to settle in by Saturday. Temperatures will dip into the mid to upper 50s near Lake Michigan and only reach the low to mid 70s across northwest Ohio, making it one of the chilliest starts to May in recent memory.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, scattered showers will become more likely Saturday into Sunday, with rain chances peaking at 70% on Sunday for parts of the region. Areas like Benton Harbor and South Bend could see persistent cloud cover and daytime highs in the 50s, while Fort Wayne and Lima, Ohio, may top out near 70 degrees.
The damp trend could impact outdoor plans and travel, particularly on Sunday when coverage becomes more widespread. Motorists should be cautious on slick rural roads and prepare for reduced visibility during periods of rain. Evening lows will range from the mid 40s to low 50s, with nighttime showers continuing through Sunday.
Rain chances remain elevated through the weekend, with another update expected early Saturday as conditions evolve.
