Cass County, IN – Drivers across northern Indiana should prepare for foggy conditions tonight and Saturday morning, followed by a mild but wet Sunday that could bring heavy rain and even a rumble of thunder before winter weather returns early next week.

According to the U.S. National Weather Service Northern Indiana, low clouds and areas of fog are expected to linger through tonight and much of Saturday, with overnight temperatures ranging from 31 to 40 degrees. Visibility may drop at times, especially in rural areas and near waterways, making early-morning travel hazardous.

Saturday will remain mostly cloudy, with patchy morning fog possible and highs climbing into the upper 30s to upper 40s. While widespread rain is not expected during the day, damp roads and reduced visibility could continue to affect drivers.

Conditions change significantly on Sunday, as a warm front moves into the region. Forecasters say temperatures will rise sharply, reaching 55 to 65 degrees, accompanied by periods of rain. Rainfall totals could approach or exceed 1 inch in some areas, and there is a slight chance of embedded thunder, particularly Sunday afternoon into the evening.

Emergency officials urge residents to monitor forecasts closely, as wet roads, ponding, and reduced visibility could impact travel plans. Those attending holiday gatherings or traveling across county lines should allow extra time.

Looking ahead, the mild weather will be short-lived. The National Weather Service reports a sharp temperature drop Sunday night into Monday, bringing gusty winds and scattered snow showers to start the new week.
