INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Temperatures will be running nearly 10° above average for the next couple of days.
This morning:
We’re mainly clear overhead, but there are a few areas of fog that have developed, mainly in the northern and southeastern parts of the state. Fog is not likely to become a widespread issue, but it could be dense in some spots considering how much rain we had over the weekend.
Meanwhile, temperatures are running very warm, hovering into the low and mid-60s here this morning.
Monday:
We are really going to heat things up as we roll through your Monday afternoon. Temperatures will already be very close to 80° by around lunchtime and surge into the mid and upper 80s later this afternoon. Dew points into the 60s will make it feel a bit more uncomfortable this afternoon as well.
Monday night:
Clouds will slowly build as we head through the overnight hours. There is an outside shot for an isolated thunderstorm in the western portions of the state nearing daybreak. Overnight lows will hover into the mid-60s.
Tuesday:
Much of Tuesday will be dry, with mostly sunny skies. Again, it will be pretty warm and humid, with highs into the mid-80s. There’s also a chance for some isolated thunderstorms to develop with the heat of the afternoon.
Wednesday:
An upper-level disturbance will roll through on Wednesday along with a cold front, and that should bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to much of the state. Many areas will see anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rainfall in the midweek.
High temperatures top out at around 80° on Wednesday afternoon.
8 day forecast:
We’re in for a cooldown as we head through the end of the week and into the weekend. There are some leftover showers on Thursday, but much of the day should be dry with highs near 80°. We’ll fall back into the mid-70s as we head into Friday and the start of the weekend on Saturday. The humidity will be much lower during this time frame as well. There is an outside chance for showers and thunderstorms to wrap up the weekend on Sunday, with highs near 80. It appears we’ll see another cooldown early next week, with highs in the mid-70s for Monday of next week.

INDIANAPOLIS — Neighbors and business owners are calling for changes to an east side intersection after two fatal crashes in less than a month.
“There is no stop here on mass and people just fly around this corner and people are just jumping to get out of this left turn here so it never stops,” Will Woodrow with 5108 studios said.
Woodrow said he put up cameras outside his business to catch wrecks. “I set one of my cameras up facing this intersection to catch the wrecks and there are probably one a week,” Woodrow added.
Most recently, police say 20-year-oldDeondrey Pirtle was killed on Saturday when his car crashed into in a parked semi-truck near the intersection.
Then on July 12th police say 31-year-old Ivan Castro was killed in a hit and run. Surveillance video captures the moments the collision happens.

“Nobody has to die before something gets done – but they have,” concerned neighbor Melinda Harritt told WRTV on Monday.
Councilor Ron Gibson represents the people of this area. He says it will take a concentrated effort to cut down on the number of wrecks.
“The fact of the matter is that people are driving too fast all over the city,” Councilor Gibson (D) District 8 said.
The Indianapolis Department of Public Works conducted a traffic study of the area within the past year. It found nearly 11 thousand people drive through there each day.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson reacts to being featured on the JW Marriott Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — JW Marriott Indianapolis is known for making sports “larger than life.”
For instance, the hotel has featured a large March Madness bracket on its windows in the past. Most recently, it featured an image of Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark in a Gatorade ad.
This past week, the hotel put a new image on the east windows of its building. The image features three members of the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Anthony Richardson, running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
News 8 Sports’ Andrew Chernoff asked Richardson about the image on Friday after the team’s training camp practice in Westfield, Ind.
“That’s definitely cool,” Richardson said. “I appreciate the city embracing me. It means a lot to me and lets me know I’m doing something right. I got a lot of support behind me. So, I’m thankful for it.”
The north window features the phrase “For The Shoe,” the official hashtag of the Colts on X, formally known as Twitter.
Richardson is gearing up for his second season as the Colts starting quarterback. Last year, his rookie season was cut short after he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in October.
He’s back healthy and ready to play a full 2024 season.
“It’s definitely easier to manage our offense now,” Richardson said. “I’m a lot more comfortable, a lot more comfortable with the calls when Shane (Steichen) is calling them. Then just looking at a defense, I’m able to scan the defense a lot longer and just check out what I’m going to have on a certain play. So I’m definitely a lot more comfortable in the offense, and I want to plan on continuing to get more comfortable in it.”
The Colts continue training camp on Monday when they practice from 2 p.m. EDT to 3:30 p.m. EDT at Grand Park.
The team’s first preseason game is just one week away when it hosts the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Aug. 11 at 1 p.m. EDT inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
