INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – We’re kicking off the week with some really nice weather, but buckle up—we’ve got changes coming by midweek.
Expect a beautiful start to your Monday. We’re looking at clear skies with highs reaching the low to mid 60s.
Mostly clear skies continue tonight with lows dropping into the upper 30s to low 40s.
Tuesday stays pleasant, though a weak front will be sliding through central Indiana during the morning. You will notice no difference as the front passes, as moisture is in very limited supply. Highs will hit the mid/upper 60s across the state.
Wednesday: A stronger weather system will be developing near Illinois and moving our way. Expect increasing clouds through the day with scattered showers developing by afternoon and evening. Highs will still be mild in the low to mid 60s before the rain arrives. There’s even a chance for a few thunderstorms late, but severe weather is not expected.
Thursday: The rain sticks around through much of Thursday as that system continues to move through. We’ll also feel a big temperature drop as colder air pushes in behind the system. Highs will only reach the upper 40s to low 50s—a significant cooldown from the 60s earlier in the week. Expect scattered showers throughout the day. A few snow flakes will also be possible by the evening hours.
Friday: Lingering moisture from Lake Michigan could keep a few showers in the forecast, possibly mixing with a few snowflakes, especially if you’re north of Indianapolis. It won’t amount to much, but it’s a sign that winter isn’t far off. Highs struggle into the mid to upper 40s. Not a pleasant end to the work week.
Weekend (Saturday-Sunday): The weather system moves out, but temperature remain on the chilly side. Expect sunny conditions and high in the mid to upper 40s Saturday, and pushing into the 50s on Sunday.
Early Next Week (Monday-Tuesday): The warming trend continues with highs returning to the upper 50s to low 60s. Mostly dry conditions are expected as high pressure builds back in.
