IndyStar Colts insider Joel A. Erickson and sports editor Nat Newell break down a 33-8 shellacking of the Dolphins, taking a look at Shane Steichen, Daniel Jones, Lou Anarumo, Tyler Warren and everything else from a surprising day at Lucas Oil Stadium.

TONIGHT

Skies stay mostly clear; overnight lows ease into the low to mid 50s as a light northwest breeze near 5 mph brings in refreshed and drier air. It feels like the first peaceful breath of fall after a long summer stretch.

TOMORROW

High pressure stays in control with sunshine and comfortable highs in the mid 70s; humidity remains low and a light north northeast breeze around 5 mph keeps the air crisp. This is the kind of Monday that invites you outside for a walk, a bike ride, or a relaxed afternoon at the park.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Clear and calm, with lows dipping into the upper 40s to low 50s; light and variable breezes keep the air fresh. The night is perfect for open window sleep or sitting outside under cool and quiet skies.

TUESDAY

Slightly cooler still, with abundant sunshine and highs in the low 70s; a light north breeze near 5 mph adds to the crispness. The air feels invigorating, almost like an early October day, and it makes for excellent conditions to enjoy the outdoors.

TUESDAY NIGHT

Another cool and tranquil evening with lows in the upper 40s; skies remain mostly clear and winds stay light. A blanket may be needed if you are outside, but the comfort is undeniable.

WEDNESDAY

Midweek brings a gentle rebound in temperatures with highs reaching the upper 70s; sunshine continues and humidity stays low, while a light east northeast breeze near 5 mph makes the day easy and enjoyable.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Pleasant and calm with lows near the low 50s; partly cloudy skies develop but conditions remain dry, and light variable winds keep the air balanced and refreshing.

THURSDAY

The run finishes with another day of comfort, highs in the upper 70s under mostly sunny skies, and a light west northwest breeze near 5 mph to reinforce the steady late summer to early fall rhythm.

7 DAY FORECAST

The transition from summer warmth to fall like comfort becomes clear in this stretch. Highs trend from the mid 70s to upper 70s through midweek, with nights falling regularly into the 40s and 50s. Sunshine dominates, humidity stays low, and the overall pattern feels much more like September. This quiet and comfortable setup gives central Indiana a much needed early taste of autumn.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The wait for Caitlin Clark’s return to the court continues.

The Indiana Fever officially ruled the WNBA All-Star out for Sunday’s game against the Golden State Valkyries as she continues to rehab from her right groin injury. Clark hasn’t played since July 15.

Tuesday, head coach Stephanie White said Clark will need multiple practices before returning to the Fever’s starting lineup.

“I want to see her live in practice,” White said on what she needs to see from Clark before her return. “I want to see her continue to work to not just build endurance but to be able to handle contact 94 feet as it’s going to be in-game and to be able to do that and to sustain from an endurance standpoint. That’s going to take multiple practices to make sure there’s no regression.”

White said a couple weeks ago that she hoped to have Clark back before the end of the regular season. Now, the Fever have only five games left before the playoffs.

White clarified Tuesday that Clark doesn’t necessarily have to participate in multiple team practices to prove her endurance. “Being able to put together 3s, 4s and different things that we can go against and matchup with” is what White said could be used instead of those few team practices that remain.

Sunday will be the 27th regular season game that Clark will miss this season. She also missed the Fever’s win in the Commissioner’s Cup championship game, as well as the All-Star Game and Three-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game in 13 games played this season.

Clark has also dealt with a left quad injury and a left groin injury this season.

The Fever are 8-5 with Clark this season and 13-13 without her during the regular season. The Fever also beat the Minnesota Lynx without Clark to win the Commissioner’s Cup.

The Fever (21-18) are 6th in the WNBA standings, one game ahead of the current eight seed Valkyries.

Indiana tips off against Golden State in San Francisco at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Sunday.
