It looks like Indianapolis residents will need to keep their jackets handy and maybe even scrape some frost off their windshields this week, as the National Weather Service in Indianapolis predicts a cool trend interspersed with the potential for light frost and freeze conditions. According to the latest weather update from the National Weather Service, today will see partly sunny skies with a brisk high near 57 degrees and winds gusting as high as 31 mph that could make it feel quite a bit chillier.
Tonight will be mostly clear with a low around 37 degrees. Winds will ease but could still gust up to 18 mph, so it may feel chilly. Patchy frost is possible in parts of central Indiana as temperatures drop into the mid to upper 30s, according to the National Weather Service.
Toward the end of the week, sunny weather will continue with highs near 60 degrees. Frost may form before 9 a.m. Friday, so gardeners should protect plants and drivers should watch for frosted windshields. Friday night will be colder, with more clouds and a low around 39 degrees.
This weekend will be mostly cloudy with highs around 60 degrees and chilly nights that could bring more frost. There’s a 20% chance of showers Saturday night, so keep an umbrella handy. Sunday will be partly sunny with a high near 64 and another slight chance of showers at night, with lows around 45 degrees, according to the NWS.
The NWS warns that frost is likely on Thursday and Friday nights, with a chance of a light freeze late Thursday into early Friday. Temperatures may drop to around 30 degrees or even the upper 20s in sheltered areas. While no major weather threats are expected, residents should stay alert during the colder nights.
