Warming trend begins Wednesday
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Well above average setting up over the next several days.
This morning:
It’s a dry and comfortable start across the area this morning, with many waking up to numbers into the mid-50s and a clear sky. Some fog has been noted down along the Ohio River and thin clouds up in the northern portions of the state.
Wednesday:
Our warming trend continues today with mostly sunny skies above average temperatures. Humidity will remain low, and winds should be relatively light. Highs will top out into the mid-80s this afternoon.
Wednesday night:
Mostly clear skies and mild temperatures overnight, with lows only falling to the lows and mid-60s.
Thursday:
Mostly sunny for much of Thursday. High temperatures will top out in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
There will be a cold front that drags through the state late Thursday night; this will likely be a line of storms across much of the Midwest. Damaging winds and large hail are possible, with a severe weather risk mainly in the northern and northwestern portions of the state.
Friday:
Friday should be a dry day after the cold front moves through quickly. Expect sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures, but still plenty hot enough. Highs will top out into the mid- and upper-80s.
This weekend:
An upper-level ridge and heat dome will be building as we head into the weekend and beyond. Expect highs into the mid- and upper-80s for Saturday. High temperatures top out into the lower 90s with high humidity on Sunday.
8 day forecast:
Next week looks hot with several rounds of 90° weather. The humidity will be sky high as well, allowing for daily afternoon chances for showers and thunderstorms.
The rainfall outlook is looking a bit better, especially for the northern portions of the state. While we’re not exceptionally dry at this point, we could use a little bit of rain. Some areas in the northern third of the state could see up to an inch to an inch and a half over the next seven days.
The 8- to 14-day outlook continues with the hot temperatures across much of the eastern half of the country. Rainfall amounts look to remain around average for this time of year through the middle of the month.

Indianapolis councilman says ‘No Data Centers’ note was left at his home after someone opened fire
The home of a councilman in Indianapolis was shot at early Monday in what local police said was an “isolated, targeted incident.”
The incident came less than a week after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission voted 6 to 2 on April 1 to approve rezoning to allow the construction of a data center.
Ron Gibson, a Democrat who represents District 8 on the council, spoke out in support of the rezoning and the efforts to build the data center in his district.
“Earlier this morning, between approximately 12:45 a.m. and 12:50 a.m., just a few hours after Easter Sunday, an individual fired 13 rounds at the front door of my home and left a note on my doorstep that read, ‘No Data Centers,’” Gibson said in a Monday statement.
Councilman Ron Gibson
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said it was called to the home on Monday morning, and officers found evidence that gunshots had been fired at the house. Police said no injuries were reported.
“I understand that public service can bring strong opinions and disagreement, but violence is never the answer, especially when it puts families at risk,” Gibson said in his statement.
The Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
The data center is set to be built by Metrobloks, a data center developer based in Los Angeles. Following the vote last week, Gibson shared a statement on social media promoting the project.
“Metrobloks has the potential to bring significant investment, create jobs, and generate long-term tax revenue that supports infrastructure, housing, and essential services,” the statement said.
A data center boom is happening across the US, with companies pouring billions into building the infrastructure to keep up with demand in the era of AI. The data centers have faced increased opposition, with critics pointing to the high resource costs, from water to energy, and other issues like noise pollution, as detailed in a Business Insider investigation.
