FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – Dense fog (potentially widespread) is a possibility again overnight into Friday morning as this week’s warm front continues its long journey northward. Visibility could be reduced to a mile or less in spots, especially during the morning commute.
Midday Friday temperatures will soar into the 60s to possibly low to mid 70s, challenging the record high in Fort Wayne of 72º, set back in 1983! It’s also not impossible we see a few isolated-to-scattered thunderstorms, though the severe risk is minimal.
A cold front will sweep through early to midday Saturday, bringing more showers, wind, and thunder to the area (low severe risk!). Temperatures should still make it into the mid to upper 60s by the afternoon, but we’ll be in the 30s to low 40s by early Sunday morning.
Sunday through Monday will be breezy, but mild with highs in the 60s, and then we could see another 70º+ day Tuesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms before a big cool down for the middle-latter part of next week. We could see highs fall by as much as 30 degrees between Tuesday and Thursday!
I also have an update about the drought status across the region, and what it will take to remove it:
