Soaking rainfall overnight
Dec 28, 2024
Saturday has become an overall pleasant day with highs in the mid 50s around Fort Wayne. This evening will have a lot of rainfall entering the area, with potential for heavier downpours periodically across the viewing area.
Most of the rainfall will occur early Sunday morning, with some less intense showers throughout the day
We are expecting widespread rain to start around midnight and continue through the early morning hours. Periods of heavier rainfall will be possible. Gusts will be up to 30 mph overnight. More rain showers look to occur through the daytime as well. We'll also see even stronger gusts Sunday with gusts up to 45 mph in Fort Wayne. Gusts may be higher towards the south towards Decatur and Portland.
Winds will vary drastically throughout the day, as the low passes northeast Indiana. It may be worth taking inside any objects that could be blown away or knocked around by winds Saturday night, and keeping them in a safe spot through Sunday.
Gusts may reach up to 45 mph in Fort Wayne on Sunday, with stronger gusts possible to the south
The continuous rainfall, along with the heavier area of rainfall we expect to see, rainfall amounts look to surpass over 1" for many from this system. This will also help out our lingering drought. As these numbers change, WANE 15 will keep you up to date with the latest.
Sunday will not be the end of our precipitation chances, as showers return throughout the midweek
While the weekend will remain wet, Monday will give us a brief break from rainfall during the day, along with the last appearance of 50 degrees temperatures for a while. Expect us to start the work week off in the upper 40s, and decrease from there. That also means chances of precipitation in the midweek may amount to some snow. While the heaviest rain does appear to be overnight into Sunday, keep an eye on the forecast for the rest of the week as well.
