Indianapolis, IN
Soggy set up to end the week
Wet weather returns for our Friday
Friday:
Showers are already starting to move through the area this morning. There will be a chance for a few heavy showers at times but mostly light showers will be filling in across the area through around lunchtime.
For the afternoon hours expect steady showers for the northern portions of the state while southern portions of the state will deal with isolated showers and thunderstorms through post-dinner time.
Temperatures should make a run into the upper 50s and lower 60s this afternoon. Wind gusts could get up to around 30 mph at times.
Friday night:
Tonight an area of low pressure rides across the Midwest which will bring a much more widespread rain event to the entire state. There will likely be some embedded thunderstorms at times through the overnight hours, which could lead to some heavy rainfall for parts of the state. This will all be triggered by a slow-moving cold front that will drag across the state so overnight lows will depend on your location. Some areas may slip as far as the low 40s through the overnight, while others will hang out into the upper 40s and lower 50s leading into Saturday morning.
Saturday:
The cold front will continue to push through the area on Saturday so at least for the first half of the day expect steady showers, and some rain will be heavy at times as we progress through the early afternoon. Eventually, by late afternoon most of the rain will push east of the state. Flurries could be possible for northern and northeastern portions of the state as we head into Saturday night.
Total rainfall for the event should be around 1 inch for many locations around central IN, with some areas exceeding 1.5 inches of rainfall through Saturday night.
We will likely hit our high on Saturday very early in the morning. Expect temperatures to fall back to the mid-40s as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday:
Sunday will be a bright but chilly day across the area, with plenty of sunshine but near-normal temperatures. Highs will top out into the upper 40s and lower 50s for Sunday afternoon.
8 day forecast:
The extended shows a quick bounce back with temperatures, with highs returning to the upper 50s by Monday, and well into the 60s for the middle of the week. Several rain chances slide in for the back half of next week.

INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) — The National Weather Service out of Indianapolis has issued a Heat Advisory for all of Central Indiana and a High Heat Warning for parts of northern Indiana. The Advisory and Warning will go into effect at 12 PM on Monday and will run through 8 PM Thursday.
WRTV
A Heat Advisory means that temperatures in the 90s with dew points in the 70s, will lead to Heat Index values reaching 106. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
Stay cool:
Drink plenty of fluids, check up on relatives and neighbors, and stay in an air-conditioned room when possible. If outside for extended periods of time, make sure to take frequent breaks in the shade as much as you can.
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.
