Indianapolis, IN
Warm and stormy start, then heat builds deeper into the week | June 7, 2026
TODAY
Warm and humid with more clouds than sun at times, and a chance for showers and thunderstorms building from late morning into the afternoon. Highs reach the mid 80s, with light wind becoming southwest around 5 mph. There should still be dry pockets mixed in, but any slow-moving storm could bring a quick flooding downpour and interrupt outdoor plans.
TONIGHT
Storm chances ease back some after the evening, with only a lower-end chance for showers lingering later at night. Lows hold near 70, with a light southeast breeze. It does not look like a washout from start to finish, but the air stays warm and sticky overnight.
TOMORROW
More clouds than sun with showers becoming more likely as the day goes on, especially later in the afternoon. Highs reach the mid 80s, with a south southeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph and a few gusts near 20 mph. This looks like one of the wetter and less reliable days for daytime plans, even though there should still be some dry stretches mixed in.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Showers and thunderstorms continue through the night with warm, muggy air holding in place. Lows stay near 70, with a light south wind. Roads could stay wet at times overnight, and locally heavier rain is still possible.
TUESDAY
Mostly cloudy, humid, and unsettled with more showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs recover into the mid 80s, with a southwest breeze around 10 mph. This is another day where outdoor schedules will be harder to trust, and any heavier storm could reduce visibility and create ponding on roads.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Showers and thunderstorms continue through the evening, then ease back somewhat later at night. Lows settle in the low 70s, with a light southwest breeze. It stays humid and unsettled, although coverage should not be as widespread late at night as it may be earlier in the evening.
WEDNESDAY
Very warm and very humid with a mix of clouds and some sun, plus another chance for showers and thunderstorms. Highs reach the upper 80s, pushing close to 90 in warmer spots. Compared with earlier in the week, heat and humidity become bigger factors even if rain is not constant all day.
7 DAY FORECAST
The overall pattern stays much more humid and unsettled through the first half of the week, with repeated chances for showers and thunderstorms from Sunday through at least Wednesday, and very warm air staying in place the whole time. Highs generally stay in the 80s, with readings pushing close to 90 by Wednesday and Thursday, so any breaks between storms will still feel distinctly summerlike. The main concern is not nonstop rain, but repeated rounds of storms and locally heavy downpours interrupting otherwise hot and muggy weather.
TODAY
Mostly cloudy and muggy with scattered showers around at times, and thunderstorms becoming more likely this afternoon. Highs reach the low 80s, with a light east wind. Much of the morning still looks manageable, but by later today a few storms could become stronger, especially across the southwest half of central Indiana, with locally heavy rain and gusty winds the main concerns.
TONIGHT
A few showers and thunderstorms may linger through the evening before coverage gradually fades later tonight. Lows settle in the upper 60s, with a light northeast breeze. It will not rain all night everywhere, but the evening still carries enough of a storm threat to keep a weather eye nearby.
TOMORROW
Partly sunny, warmer, and much less active. Highs climb into the mid 80s, with a light south wind around 5 mph. After the unsettled Saturday, this looks like a far more usable day for outdoor plans, and most of central Indiana should stay dry from start to finish.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Partly cloudy and warm, with lows in the low 70s and a light south southeast breeze around 5 mph. Humidity stays elevated overnight, so it will feel a bit more summerlike than recent nights. Quiet weather continues.
MONDAY
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. This looks like the hottest day so far this season, and heat index values over 100 are possible during the afternoon, so outdoor plans will need extra water and more breaks.
MONDAY NIGHT
Mostly clear and warm, with lows around the mid 70s. A light south southwest breeze continues overnight, and there will be very little cooling after sunset. It stays dry, but the muggy feel hangs on.
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 the 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.
7 DAY FORECAST
After today’s storm chances taper away, the pattern flips quickly toward heat and humidity. Sunday looks quieter and warmer, then Monday through Thursday all 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 chance for storms not returning until Friday. Overall, the bigger concern after Saturday becomes summer heat rather than repeated storm chances.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A jogger heard splashing from the White River near the Indiana University Indianapolis campus on Friday night and called 911.
About an hour later, three divers with Indianapolis Fire Department found a man’s body about 15 feet from the shore, and six feet down, said Battalion Chief Rita Reith.
Crews were called just before 7 p.m. Friday to the intersection of University Boulevard and Blake Street. That’s near the National Institute for Fitness and Sport, and the NCAA Hall of Champions in downtown Indianapolis.
It was not immediately known why the man was near the river.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will work to locate the man’s family.
IFD said this is the ninth fatal drowning in Marion County in 2026 and the second in two days.

Fred and Friends Traveling Tavern brings dirty soda craze to Indianapolis with alcohol-free menu
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Fred and Friends Traveling Tavern is broadening its appeal this season by introducing a new alcohol-free menu geared toward younger guests, joining the popular dirty soda craze sweeping the nation.
Previously focused on the 21-and-older crowd, the tavern has expanded its offerings to include customizable dirty sodas, loaded lemonades, and Alanis—largely thanks to inspiration from 14-year-old staff member Rylynn Bradley, daughter of manager Lindsay Bradley.
“We’ve had the tavern for a couple years now where we cater to our 21 and over crew, but we’ve kind of noticed a need for those under 21,” Lindsay Bradley said. “They want to come up and get a slushy, you know, hang out with mom and dad.”
The tavern offers a rotating selection of drinks featuring about 20 different syrup choices, including both zero sugar and regular soda options.
Among the customer favorites are:
- Dirty Cotton Candy Alani: A vibrant mix of blue raspberry, edible glitter, cotton candy Alani, and cotton candy cold foam
- Bomb Pop: Combines cherry, Sprite, and blue raspberry-infused cold foam for a refreshing taste
“It’s so customizable, which is what we really like about it,” Lindsay said. “You come up, you see the syrups, you see the soda. If you want a drink, we’ll make it.”
Teen Inspiration
Rylynn Bradley, who helped inspire the menu expansion, says working at the tavern has been a valuable learning experience.
“It is such a great opportunity. It helps me learn how to do new things and try to work on my communication skills a little bit better,” Rylynn said. “It’s really fun and it’s one of my favorite things that I do.”
Friends of Fred Network
Fred and Friends Traveling Tavern is part of Friends of Fred, a local network that helps food trucks in the Indianapolis area connect and support each other.
“We all network together, we look out for the best of one another,” Lindsay said. “That’s what you get with Friends of Fred.”
The timing of the expansion coincides with National Food Truck Day, though weather challenges reminded the team of the unpredictable nature of the business.
“The weather has completely derailed almost everybody’s plans today, so that’s food truck life in a nutshell,” Lindsay said.
Where to Find Them
The tavern will be at White River State Park for the upcoming drone show event, serving both its alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink selections.
For those interested in connecting with the Friends of Fred network or finding the tavern’s location, visit the Friends of Fred Facebook page. Look for trucks displaying the “Friends of Fred vetted member” sticker.
Along with the new alcohol-free dirty soda selection, the tavern continues to offer slushies, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, catering to a wide range of tastes throughout the Indianapolis food truck scene.
