Sunday thunderstorms possible in Indianapolis. Here’s what forecasters predict for Easter
Indianapolis flooding at Fall Creek from Indiana thunderstorms
Rainfall from recent storms caused the Fall Creek in Indianapolis to rise above its banks Saturday. See video of the floodwater.
If you’re planning to take your family out for an Easter egg hunt on Sunday, bring your rainboots. The National Weather Service is calling for a wet weekend in the Indianapolis metro area.
Saturday will continue to be rainy with a chance of thunderstorms before 2 p.m. Temperatures will reach a high of about 65 degrees. There’s a 30% chance of light rain continuing overnight, according to the NWS.
Saturday’s scheduled Carmel Marathon was canceled as a result of the inclement weather, event organizers announced. Numerous other outdoor activities and sporting events across the metro area were either postponed or moved indoors due to heavy rainfall Saturday morning.
The sound of tornado sirens awoke many Hamilton County residents shortly before 6 a.m. Saturday, as a strong thunderstorm brought lightning, heavy rain and a shelter warning from the NWS.
“It looks like late tonight we’ll probably have a break,” NWS meteorologist Greg Melo said.
The odds of heavy rain will increase toward daybreak on Sunday morning, and there’s a chance of thunderstorms from about 8 a.m. until the early afternoon. The day will be warm, with a high of about 74 degrees.
If kids want to go look for Easter eggs, “it looks like tomorrow afternoon would be a good time,” Melo said.
Another storm system will come in Sunday evening, again bringing the potential for more severe weather. If you’re outside and hear a clap of thunder, move the festivities inside.
There’s a “non-zero threat” of a strong storm late Sunday, but it would likely be west of Indianapolis, Melo said.
Easter Sunday forecast for Indianapolis area

Good and bad from Colts’ 2026 NFLPA report card grades
What grades did the Indianapolis Colts earn on the 2026 NFLPA report cards?
The NFLPA is no longer able to make their annual report cards public. However, ESPN’s Kayln Kahler was able to obtain a copy of the reports following the 2025 NFL season, and the Indianapolis Colts were again around the middle of the pack.
In these report cards, players rate numerous aspects of the organizations they play for, from ownership to the training facilities and everything in between. According to Kahler, 1,759 players contributed to these grades.
So, where did the Colts end up this year relative to the rest of the NFL this year?
Overall, the Colts ranked 17th. Below is a breakdown of each individual grade they received.
- Treatment of Families: B
- Home Game Field: D
- Food/Dining Area: B
- Nutritionist/Dietician: A-
- Locker Room: C+
- Training Room: B
- Training Staff: B+
- Weight Room: B

- Position Coaches: B
- Offensive Coordinator: B
- Defensive Coordinator: B+
- Special Teams Coordinator: B+
- Team Travel: B-
- Head Coach: A-

Of note, although the Colts haven’t been to the postseason in five years, Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard both received high marks.
Carlie Irsay Gordon, Kalen Jackson, and Casey Foyt earned an A in their first year as the primary owners.
The field at Lucas Oil Stadium received a very low mark, earning a D, while the locker room was given a C+. Those were the two lowest grades the Colts received.
Compared to the 2025 rankings, the Colts moved up two spots this year, after coming in at 19th last year.
The biggest jumps the Colts experienced came in the Food/Dining grade, which went from a C to a B. The Team travel grade also jumped from a D+ to a B-.

Indianapolis police search for 3 people after shooting, stolen vehicle crash
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a shooting, Indianapolis police were searching for three people who fled on foot following the pursuit of a stolen vehicle and its crash on Thursday afternoon.
No information was provided in the notification about the three people being sought. News 8 reached out to IMPD by email to find out details about the three people. Anyone with information regarding the incident or the people who fled the crash was asked to contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The stolen vehicle was linked to a Thursday shooting, prompting the lockdown of a nearby child care center, IMPD said in a media notification. No information was provided about where the shooting happened, what may have led to it, or whether anyone was hurt.
IMPD, however, said the stolen vehicle and crash were not related to a shooting reported at 12:35 p.m. Thursday at a gas station and restaurant at West 38th and Meridian streets.
IMPD officers found the stolen vehicle around 12:45 p.m. Thursday near East 38th Street and Post Road. When a detective attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle fled westbound before crashing a short time later near Whenner Drive, the notification said. It did not say what type of vehicle was abandoned in the crash.
Three people from the crashed vehicle fled southwest on foot. IMPD established a perimeter with assistance from the Indiana State Police, the Lawrence Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office — using specialized resources, including a state police helicopter, a special weapons and tactics team, and the IMPD’s police dogs — but did not find the three people.
IMPD said a firearm was found in the crashed vehicle, and a man detained at the crash scene was later released once investigators determined he was not directly involved in the incident.
Police have since lifted the lockdown on the child care center.
IMPD’s public information office can be reached at 317-327-3424.
