FORT WAYNE, IN – If you’re hoping for a smooth transition into spring, think again. This week’s weather is all over the place—we’re talking rain, gusty winds, and a brief return to winter before things settle down again.
Here’s what’s coming, so you can plan accordingly (or at least know which jacket to grab each day).
Saturday, March 2 – Cold & A Few Snowflakes
Saturday’s weather is straight out of January—cold, breezy, and even a few scattered snow showers.
- High: 31°F (-1°C)
- Low: 17°F (-8°C)
- A few flurries possible, but nothing major.
- Wind chill will make it feel even colder.
If you’re heading out, bundle up—it’s going to feel pretty raw outside.
Sunday, March 3 – Still Cold, But Brighter
Sunday brings a little more sun, but it’s still chilly.
- High: 35°F (2°C)
- Low: 21°F (-6°C)
- Partly sunny skies but still brisk.
It’s a decent day to get outside—as long as you’ve got a warm coat.
Monday, March 4 – Cloudy, But Starting to Warm Up
Monday finally pushes us out of the deep freeze with milder air moving in.
- High: 43°F (6°C)
- Low: 33°F (1°C)
- Mostly cloudy, but dry.
Not exactly spring-like, but at least we’re getting somewhere.
Tuesday, March 5 – Here Comes the Rain & Wind
Tuesday’s the start of our big weather shift. We’re warming up, but rain moves in during the afternoon, and the wind starts picking up.
- High: 53°F (12°C)
- Low: 47°F (8°C)
- Afternoon showers could get heavy at times.
- Breezy, with gusts picking up later in the day.
If you’re driving in the evening, be prepared for wet roads and gusty winds.
Wednesday, March 6 – Rainy, Windy & Then… Cold Again?
Wednesday keeps the rain around, along with some pretty strong winds. Then, just when you’re getting used to the warmth, temperatures start dropping fast.
- High: 53°F (12°C)
- Low: 30°F (-1°C)
- Rain showers most of the day.
- Gusty winds could top 30 mph.
By Wednesday night, we’re back below freezing—so any leftover rain could turn into slick spots.

Just when you thought winter was gone… here we go again.
- High: 38°F (3°C)
- Low: 26°F (-3°C)

- High: 44°F (7°C)
- Low: 27°F (-3°C)
