Indianapolis residents are looking at a relatively stable range of winter temperatures this week, with occasional chances of rain sprinkled through the forecast. According to the latest update from the National Weather Service, the city woke up to a chilly morning with temperatures sitting at 27 degrees Fahrenheit.
The forecast details that temperatures are expected to hit a high of near 32 degrees today with calm winds shifting north northwest. As Hoosiers go into the evening, they can anticipate a low around 21 degrees, with light and variable wind. On Sunday, the sun is expected to make an appearance, promising a high near 35 degrees bolstered, by a soft south southeast wind.
Entering the week, Monday brings a 30 percent chance of rain post 1 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a high nearing 43 degrees. Come Monday night, that same chance of rain lingers, mainly before the early hours, as temperatures dip to a low around 33 degrees. Looking towards Tuesday, residents should prepare for similar conditions—a 30 percent chance of rain after the early afternoon with mostly cloudy skies. However, by nightfall, the rain chances hike up slightly to 40 percent, setting the stage for a damp entry into Christmas Day.
For those celebrating Christmas, a 40 percent chance of rain could mean indoor festivities, as temperatures peak at a mild 48 degrees under the blanket of mostly cloudy skies. The post-Christmas forecast maintains this pattern with a series of 30 to 50 percent chances of rain and temperature highs steadily climbing, hitting near the mid-50s toward the week's end.
