Warmer air will still be in place Thursday afternoon as we see snow showers across the area through early evening. After midnight the colder air begins to filter in and we will wake Friday morning with some snow. Most areas will see a quick 1 to 2 inches through early Friday.

North of Fort Wayne and near the Michigan border heavier snowfall is possible which could also include some lake effect snow. This area may see 6 inches or more of snowfall

Our active weather pattern continues for the next several days and well into next week.  Look for light rain during the early evening hours of Wednesday with a cloudy sky into Thursday morning.

Look for rain showers into Thursday afternoon with highs into the 40s.  You will notice again for Thursday that it will be significantly warmer to the south and colder to the north.  We could easily see only the lower 40s up near the Toll Road and the mid 50s down towards Grant/Blackford/Jay Counties.

Now here is where it gets a lot more interesting.  As this next weather system passes over us Thursday night, it will pull cold air back into the area and our rain will change over to snow Thursday night into Friday morning.  The snow will continue for Friday and by the time it turns off, look for an inch or two for Fort Wayne, with 2-4 inches expected along the Snow Belt Counties or along the Toll Road.

In the wake of this snow, look for highs in the 30s for Friday and Saturday with a few more flurries on tap for Saturday also.

It’s going to be a very interesting forecast and that begins Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will be in the middle 40s but north temperatures will only warm into the middle 30s. With the colder temperatures we could see some measurable snowfall in our northern counties.

Rain will move across the entire area through Thursday afternoon as very mild air moves ahead of some colder air.

That colder air moves in Friday with snow showers back through the early part of the weekend.

Are you ready for some more diverse weather over the next week?   As early as Wednesday, look for some light snow possible in the morning to highs back in the 40s in the afternoon, then even lower 50s for Thursday.

The snow/rain chance for Wednesday is low to moderate at this time, but none the less, it is still there.  This chance of precipitation is due to a week impulse or disturbance in the the jetstream.  (Not the force, can you tell I was raised on Star Wars?)

Anyway, look for a few snow to rain showers for Wednesday with fairly low snowfall amounts expected.  On top of that, any snow that does accumulate will melt off by the afternoon with highs in the 40s.

Thursday will bring us highs in the lower 50s with more scattered rain showers.  But, keep your eye on Thursday as our next weather system will bring us another round of snow.

It could be a little messy through the early part of Tuesday morning with rain mixed with snow or ice pellets at time. It doesn’t look like much as far as accumulating snowfall or rainfall for that matter as this next system is not carrying a lot of moisture into the area.

The pattern will be a mild one through much of the rest of the work week. However, by Friday arctic air returns and we could see some significant snowfall Friday into Saturday. We are also going to see a change in temperatures with much colder air at least to start the weekend.

Look for a taste of winter Tuesday morning followed by spring like temperatures by sunset as our next weather system moves through the area.  Honestly, this is a tough forecast for Tuesday morning since temperatures will be so close to freezing during the morning hours.   On top of that, there is also the issue of the dry air over us now.  Hands down, the precipitation looks light, but expect a light, winter mix mid morning Tuesday with some snow mixing with rain and then changing to all rain by midday.

Don’t expect a lot in the way of snow since there will not be a lot of moisture from this storm, but a half inch to an inch of snow is not out of the question for Tuesday morning.

The snow will not stick around very long as temperatures will be back in the lower 40s for Tuesday afternoon with light rain showers.

Wednesday and Thursday will also be mild with highs in the upper 40s and rain returning for Thursday.  Enjoy the 40s while you can as 30s return for the weekend with flurries on Saturday.

It will be a nice start to the week, but several waves of low pressure will begin to bring clouds and some rain or snow in as early as Tuesday morning. Temperatures will be cold enough for some early snow Tuesday morning, but that will quickly change to rain by mid morning as temperatures rise to above freezing.

The same kind of event is possible Wednesday morning as we will see some early light snow possible changing to all rain quickly. Temperatures will remain mild on Wednesday and Thursday.

A colder weather system will move in by Friday with highs in the 30s to end the week and start the weekend. Lows will be in the teens both Friday and Saturday nights.

Monday High Temperatures

Our sunny pattern will change heading into Tuesday.  Clouds will be on the increase through Monday night, then precipitation returns Tuesday morning.  Notice I said precipitation and not rain.  Temps early morning Tuesday will be a bit below freezing making for a wintry mix.

Futurecast - Tuesday at 9 am

Although we will see a wintry mix early, warm air will again dominate and we will quickly change to all rain.

Futurecast - Tuesday at Noon

It’s a pretty calm, seasonal forecast across the region today.  We have some additional sunshine during the day with afternoon temperatures in the mid 30s.

We’ll stay dry and sunny tomorrow but, by Tuesday morning, a mixture of rain and snow will track through the area.

High Temperatures Sunday

With the few extra clouds Sunday, temps will be just a few degrees cooler.  Clearer skies move in for Monday and temperatures will again climb to near 40.

High Temperatures Monday

Things will change through the rest of the week as rain returns to the area Tuesday.
