High temperatures only around 9 for the afternoon. Winds will be a bit breezy and could gust at times near 20 mph. That will create temperatures below zero all day long.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy conditions tonight frigid with low temperatures falling below zero. We will see wind chill values anywhere from 15 to 25 degrees below zero. An extreme cold warning goes into place later tonight and will last until 11:00 on Tuesday.

Partly cloudy skies on Tuesday. This will be the warmest day we see of the work week. Highs will be right around 20. Wind chill values will still be below zero at times.
7 DAY EXTENDED FORECAST: The cold air sticks around heading into the middle and latter half of the week. Highs on Wednesday will only be right around 14. Look for mostly sunny skies on Wednesday clouds begin to increase Thursday and Friday. Temperatures really don’t budge, we’ll look for highs into the middle teens.
Some snow chances could be possible heading into the weekend. Doesn’t look like we’re going to see a massive system but rather just a few flurries at times. Temperatures are still going to be cold heading into the weekend as well.

Storms fade with dangerous heat building through midweek | June 27, 2026
TODAY
Patchy fog early gives way to a partly sunny, warmer, and much less active day. Highs reach the mid to upper 80s, with a light south breeze around 5 mph. After the unsettled Saturday, this looks like a far more usable day for outdoor plans, with most of central Indiana staying dry from start to finish.
TONIGHT
Mostly clear early, then becoming partly to mostly cloudy toward daybreak. Lows hold in the low 70s, with a light south southeast breeze around 5 mph. Humidity stays elevated overnight, but quiet weather continues and there are no meaningful travel concerns.
TOMORROW
Mostly sunny and hot with highs pushing into the low 90s. A south southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the air moving, but the bigger story is the heat and humidity building in. Heat index values around or above 100 are possible during the afternoon, so outdoor plans will need extra water and more breaks.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Mostly clear and warm, with lows around the mid 70s and a light south southwest breeze. There will be very little cooling after sunset, and the muggy feel hangs on through the night. Dry weather remains in place.
TUESDAY
Sunny and even hotter, with highs in the low to mid 90s and a light southwest breeze around 5 mph. This is another day where heat becomes the main impact, and it will not take long to feel it during the afternoon. Outdoor work and summer activities will need to be paced carefully.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Clear and warm again, with lows in the mid 70s and a light southwest wind. The air remains sticky overnight, and there is still no meaningful rain signal for Indianapolis.
WEDNESDAY
Mostly sunny and hot, with highs in the low to mid 90s. Wind stays light, becoming south southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Heat remains the main concern, and another uncomfortable summer afternoon is expected across central Indiana.
7 DAY FORECAST
After Saturday’s leftover storm chances fade away, the pattern flips quickly toward heat and humidity. Sunday looks quieter and warmer, then Monday through at least Wednesday trend hot with highs in the 90s and heat index values over 100 possible at times. Rain chances stay very low through midweek, with the next better opportunity for showers and storms showing up later Thursday into Friday. Overall, the bigger concern after tonight becomes summer heat rather than repeated storm chances.
