INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Sunshine returns with mild temperatures over the next several days

Thursday:

Clear skies great you this morning. Widespread frost has also developed because of the clear and quiet conditions.

Expect sunny skies for much of the morning. Clouds will build a bit for the afternoon, but still should have a decent amount of sun for the second half of the day. Highs top out in the upper 40s/lower 50s.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy conditions tonight. Temperatures should be a touch warmer, with lows dipping to the middle 30s. A few sprinkles may be possible for southern portions of the area overnight.

Friday:

Weak front moving through will result in a decent amount of cloud cover to end the week. Temperatures will take a bit of a hit as a result, with highs hitting the mid/upper 40s by the afternoon. skies should clear by late Friday night.

Weekend:

Beautiful weekend on tap, with sunshine both days and highs in the lower 50s. We might see the winds increase a bit later Sunday, as a power system moves just south of our state. Gusts could reach up to 30mph.

8 day forecast:

Quiet weather continues for much of next week, with temperatures running 10-15° above average for the long term. 8-14 day forecast calls for above average temperatures too, with a good chance for more rainfall on the way by mid-week.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
