FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – Last night’s storms may have been loud, but the real story was the rain. While most severe weather damage stayed isolated to Kosciusko and Defiance Counties, a concentrated band of heavy rain dumped 3 to 5 inches over parts of Fort Wayne and north of the city. Flooding will remain a concern throughout the week for areas that received the heaviest rainfall.
Light rain will continue through the early afternoon before conditions dry out later. Wednesday will stay cool with temperatures hovering in the 40s.
First Alert Weather Day Thursday
We have issued a First Alert Weather Day for tomorrow as a cold front will push through Thursday evening, bringing an increased risk for severe weather. All hazards are on the table with the main threat being an elevated tornado risk as well as flooding risks for those who already received a lot of rain last night. Timing yet again looks primarily late in the evening and heading overnight. While a large tornado outbreak is not expected, spin ups will be possible throughout the evening, so make sure you stay weather aware tomorrow…
