FORT WAYNE, IN — Northern Indiana woke to a sparkling frost Saturday as the season’s coldest air slipped in overnight. Temperatures dipped to around 30°F, and a Freeze Warning remains in effect for Allen County and nearby communities until 9 a.m.
The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana urges residents to shield tender plants, insulate outdoor faucets, and protect sensitive crops. Morning lows hovering near freezing could nip any remaining garden growth, though sunshine and calm winds will help temperatures bounce back to about 56°F by afternoon — a notable turnaround after the chilliest morning since early spring.
Sunday keeps the upward trend, featuring wall-to-wall sunshine and highs near 59°F. Expect a clear, tranquil night in the upper 30s. Monday follows suit with another dry, bright day around 60°F — perfect for yard work, late-season leaf cleanup, or getting Halloween decorations in place.
The quiet stretch continues into Tuesday before increasing clouds bring a slight chance for showers midweek. Forecast guidance hints at another cool-down as Halloween weekend approaches, but for now, northern Indiana enjoys several serene, sunlit days after this sharp frost.
Hold onto those frost blankets — another chilly spell may be just around the corner.
