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.

New bridge over 96th Street adds to Nickel Plate Trail connections

New bridge over 96th Street adds to Nickel Plate Trail connections

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — The Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge over 96th Street is officially open.

It was being touted Friday as a major milestone for central Indiana’s growing trail system. The street is the Fishers-Indianapolis border.

Leaders called the project a critical connection point for the Nickel Plate Trail. The new bridge helps move the nearly 17-mile trail closer to its goal of connecting multiple counties through one continuous path.

The bridge also came with a 1.3-mile trail extension. A $4.5 million grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources made the bridge possible.

Dale Brier, deputy director of Indiana Department of Natural Resources, talked about the state’s Next Level Trails grant program. “Currently, we have 89 trail projects that that were funded with that money. Fifty-nine of those are complete. We’ve got 12 under construction. As of this opening, we have 167 miles of trail that have now been opened with that grant money.”

People who frequently take the trail for their daily exercises say they’re excited the bridge is finally open.

Alan Errichiello of the Fishers Running Club said, “Extending this down south into Indianapolis is a big game changer for us. It’ll add a lot of miles that we can easily get into.”

Resident Tracy Mundell said, “Trying to get to the other side was nearly impossible, so I think most people didn’t even attempt it. It’s going to be great, we can get over to the other side, and I’m anxious to see what’s over there.”

The final portion of the project, called the Clear Path project, remains under construction.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, a Republican, said, “We need to double-down on that investment, and we know time and time again here in the city of Fishers that trail systems, the ability to get up and get out and get active, is such an important part in our culture of health, that an investment like this is critical.”

Once complete, local leaders say the goal is to provide a more safe and connected routes between Noblesville, Fishers, Indianapolis and other surrounding cities.

Resident Steve Mundell said, “It’s lovely. It’ll be real convenient to get across too.”

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
Strength Coaches: A
Position Coaches: B
Offensive Coordinator: B
Defensive Coordinator: B+
Special Teams Coordinator: B+
Team Travel: B-
Head Coach: A-
General Manager: A
Team Ownership: 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-.
