Fort Wayne, IN – Heavy snowfall this evening will affect much of northern Indiana, primarily along and south of Route 30. The National Weather Service reports that snowfall will begin after the evening commute, tapering off by morning.
Accumulations are expected to be 1 to 2 inches, with the heaviest snowfall expected near Route 24. Areas further north may see lesser amounts. Officials have urged drivers to proceed with caution, as snow-covered roads could lead to poor conditions overnight.
According to the National Weather Service, this weather pattern is part of a fast-moving system tracking to the east. Roadways, especially untreated surfaces, can be dangerous during peak snowfall hours.
Residents planning to travel tonight are encouraged to check local weather updates and be prepared for slower travel. The Indiana Department of Transportation suggests reducing speeds and increasing distances during icy conditions.
