First Alert Forecast: Sunny start to the week, temperatures drop on Thursday

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - We are starting off the week on a good note with temperatures staying on the mild side. Sunny skies and highs around 60 this afternoon will leave us about 5-7 degrees above average. Sunny skies and milder conditions will continue through the start of the week before cooler air takes over.

Next Big Change

We are in for some big, seasonal changes by Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop down into the 40s for highs as a cooler air mass moves in. Overnight lows will drop down into the upper 20s to low 30s. This cooldown could even allow for a few flakes to mix in with scattered rain showers overnight into Friday morning. The ground will be too warm for any slick conditions to develop, but this will serve as a reminder to be ready and prepared for when accumulating snow does arrive.
