The City of Indianapolis is bracing for a mixed bag of weather conditions in the coming week. Today, locals can expect a largely sunny sky with temperatures peaking at 38 degrees. Meanwhile, the northeast wind is about to shift, moving east southeast this afternoon with relatively gentle speeds of 6 to 8 mph, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
As the evening draws in, the forecast predicts a cloudy sky with lows dipping to around 33 degrees. Gusts may reach up to 18 mph in an east southeast wind. For those stepping out tonight, consider a heavier coat, there's a chill in the air with the wind chill making it feel more like 20 degrees. Looking ahead, the NWS expects a balmy rise in temperature going into tomorrow with highs reaching into the 50s.
Unsettled weather continues into the start of the workweek, with mostly cloudy skies persisting through Monday and temperatures hovering in the mid-to-upper 50s. Come Tuesday, the sun might peek out a bit more, offering partly sunny skies and a high near 47 degrees. The brief respite comes ahead of more rain predicted for mid-week.
The likelihood of rain showers ramps up Tuesday night with a 50 percent chance of precipitation after 1 a.m. This pattern of potentially wet weather is slated to continue through Thursday, bringing showers and a possible thunderstorm on Wednesday night. As temperatures drop again toward the end of the week, Indianapolis residents might get a break from the rain, but not the cold. Friday is expected to be mostly sunny, yet cooler with a high near 40 degrees.
