TODAY

Warm and humid with more clouds than sun at times, and a chance for showers and thunderstorms building from late morning into the afternoon. Highs reach the mid 80s, with light wind becoming southwest around 5 mph. There should still be dry pockets mixed in, but any slow-moving storm could bring a quick flooding downpour and interrupt outdoor plans.  

TONIGHT

Storm chances ease back some after the evening, with only a lower-end chance for showers lingering later at night. Lows hold near 70, with a light southeast breeze. It does not look like a washout from start to finish, but the air stays warm and sticky overnight.  

TOMORROW

More clouds than sun with showers becoming more likely as the day goes on, especially later in the afternoon. Highs reach the mid 80s, with a south southeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph and a few gusts near 20 mph. This looks like one of the wetter and less reliable days for daytime plans, even though there should still be some dry stretches mixed in.  

TOMORROW NIGHT

Showers and thunderstorms continue through the night with warm, muggy air holding in place. Lows stay near 70, with a light south wind. Roads could stay wet at times overnight, and locally heavier rain is still possible.  

TUESDAY

Mostly cloudy, humid, and unsettled with more showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs recover into the mid 80s, with a southwest breeze around 10 mph. This is another day where outdoor schedules will be harder to trust, and any heavier storm could reduce visibility and create ponding on roads.  

TUESDAY NIGHT

Showers and thunderstorms continue through the evening, then ease back somewhat later at night. Lows settle in the low 70s, with a light southwest breeze. It stays humid and unsettled, although coverage should not be as widespread late at night as it may be earlier in the evening.  

WEDNESDAY

Very warm and very humid with a mix of clouds and some sun, plus another chance for showers and thunderstorms. Highs reach the upper 80s, pushing close to 90 in warmer spots. Compared with earlier in the week, heat and humidity become bigger factors even if rain is not constant all day.  

7 DAY FORECAST

The overall pattern stays much more humid and unsettled through the first half of the week, with repeated chances for showers and thunderstorms from Sunday through at least Wednesday, and very warm air staying in place the whole time. Highs generally stay in the 80s, with readings pushing close to 90 by Wednesday and Thursday, so any breaks between storms will still feel distinctly summerlike. The main concern is not nonstop rain, but repeated rounds of storms and locally heavy downpours interrupting otherwise hot and muggy weather.  

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A mother who lost her only son in a traffic crash is asking parents and teenagers to take simple steps to avoid “the 100 deadliest days” of driving. 

Tammy Guido McGee said her 16-year old boy, Conner, died in 2019 while traveling as a passenger with another teenager from school. “All he did was accept a ride,” McGee said. 

Because of that tragedy, McGee has become a traffic safety advocate, talking to people across the country. 

“Don’t think it’s not going to happen to you,” McGee said. “Because that was us, and here we are.” 

Along with the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), McGee is warning families to be mindful of the “100 Deadliest Days”. It’s the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when fatal teen crashes see a significant spike. 

Teen traffic fatalities increase more than 20% during the 100-day period, according to NRSF, averaging nine deaths a day.

A coalition of advocacy groups, including NRSF, Impact Teen Drivers, Students Against Destructive Decisions, and FCCLA, is leading a nationwide push to buck the trend, making it “The 100 Safest Days”. The groups are raising awareness of how avoidable dangers, like drowsy driving, impaired driving, and speeding, turn fatal too often. 

“We want teenagers to buckle up, put that phone away,” McGee said.

But she said the largest contributing factor to a crash is having too many passengers. “Especially now in the summer. Everybody is jumping in the car, they want to go to the beach,” McGee said. “We want them to have fun. We just want them to understand the real dangers.”

The groups launched www.100safestdaysofsummer.org to shine a light on traffic safety issues putting teens at risk, with resources for parents as well. 

“Talk about this,” McGee said. “So another teenager doesn’t have to lose their life.”
