Indianapolis is starting Wednesday with clear skies and temperatures around 62 degrees, offering a calm opening to a late-July weather reset. Sunshine will take over through the afternoon as temperatures rise to about 83 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service Indianapolis, north-northeast winds will stay light at 3 to 8 mph, and rain is not expected Wednesday. Skies should remain mostly clear Wednesday night, with lows near 62.
Sunny Stretch Holds Through Friday
Thursday looks just as friendly for outdoor plans, with full sunshine, a high near 86 and a light north wind. Friday will be partly sunny and slightly cooler, topping out around 84 degrees, though a small chance of rain will return during the day. It is a noticeable breather from the heavier, stickier weather Indianapolis has dealt with recently—and from the warmer pattern outlined in last week’s Hoodline forecast.
Storms Return Friday Night
The quiet stretch ends Friday night, when showers and thunderstorms become likely after 8 p.m. The chance of precipitation rises to 60%, with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 67. Saturday brings the main weather concern: an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, a high near 78 and wind gusts reaching 20 mph.
Wet Weekend Gives Way To A Warmer Turn
Showers and storms could continue Saturday night before tapering to a chance of rain and thunder Sunday. Sunday’s high should reach about 80 with a 50% chance of precipitation, followed by a mostly sunny Monday with afternoon storm chances and a high near 82. By Tuesday, temperatures may climb back to around 85, with another 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
