How frequent are 60-degree days in January for Indianapolis?


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis will challenge 60 degrees multiple times to close this week. How frequent are 60-degree days in the month of January?

Over the last 5 years, Indianapolis has hit 60 degrees in January only twice. Bloomington did it four times in this same stretch.

Our last time hitting the 60-degree threshold in this month was in January 2023 in Indy. Temperature records for the city have been kept since 1872. On average, Indianapolis has around one day of making it to 60 degrees in January since record keeping began.

1880 is the year with the most January 60 degrees or higher days on record at 8 days. In 2017, Indianapolis had 4 days make it to the threshold. This is the last time we had multiple days in the 60s in January.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts are heading home. The team announced Friday that starting in 2027, Training Camp will move from Westfield’s Grand Park to the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in Indianapolis.

The team has been at Grand Park in Westfield since 2018. By making the switch, the Colts join more than 25 other NFL teams that now prefer to hold camp at their own year-round practice facilities. The team says the move is driven by “growing logistical and technological demands” that are better met at their home base.

“This was a tough decision, because we’ve had a wonderful experience at Grand Park and have valued working so closely with the city of Westfield and Hamilton County over seven summers,” the team said. “We’re grateful to Mayors Scott Willis and Andy Cook and their staffs, Hamilton County’s business, tourism, public safety, and community leaders, and of course the people of Westfield and the hundreds of volunteers who shared their time and energy to make sure camp was safe, smooth, and enjoyable for all.”

Fans of the Grand Park experience don’t have to say goodbye just yet. The Colts confirmed they will return to Westfield for the 2026 training camp before making the permanent move to Indianapolis the following year.

High-speed chase on snow-covered U.S. 31 ends with arrest of Indianapolis woman

High-speed chase on snow-covered U.S. 31 ends with arrest of Indianapolis woman


PLYMOUTH, Ind. (WISH) — A 35-year-old Indianapolis woman was hospitalized and later jailed after state troopers on Wednesday afternoon pursued her in a high-speed chase on a snow-covered U.S. 31.

Online court records on Thursday night did not yet show a court case for Amber McDowell, but a news release issued Thursday night from state police said she’s facing primary charges including low-level felony counts of OWI and resisting law enforcement with a vehicle as a result of the chase.

Online court records on Thursday night showed an active arrest warrant for McDowell in Hendricks Circuit Court in Danville on multiple criminal charges, including misdemeanor counts of OWI, driving while suspended, having a false certificate for motor vehicle registration, driving with an open alcoholic beverage container, and speeding. She had failed to appear for two court dates in 2021 following her initial hearing in December 2020.

The release also said McDowell was wanted on an arrest warrant from Kentucky, though no details were provided.

Wednesday’s chase began about 1:15 p.m. when troopers saw a red 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier car speeding northbound on a rural stretch of U.S. 31 near 14th Road in southern Marshall County. It’s about an 8-minute drive south of the Marshall County city of Plymouth. The northern Indiana county of 46,400 residents sits south of St. Joseph County, where South Bend is located.

The release said a trooper activated emergency lights, and McDowell accelerated and drove erratically, passing other vehicles on U.S. 31. McDowell lost control of her car about 14 miles into the chase, near the Marshall County town of La Paz. The car entered the center median of the divided highway, but she managed to regain control and flee about 8 miles farther north until she crashed into a concrete ditch on the U.S. 31 interchange for State Road 4 and the southern St. Joseph County town of Lakeville.

The chase reached speeds of nearly 100 mph, state police said.

Following the crash, McDowell fled from the car on foot before troopers fired a taser and then took her into custody. Upon her arrest, troopers said, McDowell displayed signs of intoxication.

News 8 on Thursday night reached out to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office for a jail booking photo of McDowell but did not receive an immediate response.
