Indianapolis is starting Friday with clear skies and nearly calm conditions, but patchy fog could slow the early morning commute before 9 a.m. The fog should lift as sunshine takes over, sending temperatures toward a warm but manageable high near 82 degrees.
Fog Clears For A Sunny Friday
Friday afternoon looks mostly sunny, with a light southwest wind of 1 to 5 mph and only a 3% chance of rain. The warmest part of the day should arrive in the midafternoon, when temperatures reach about 80 to 82 degrees.
Friday night will be partly cloudy, with a low around 66 and light west winds. The chance of rain stays low, although a few spots could see a trace of rainfall.
Saturday Brings A Brief Storm Chance
Saturday starts mostly sunny before a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops between noon and 4 p.m. Highs should reach about 79 degrees before temperatures ease through the afternoon, while west winds could gust as high as 22 mph.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday night will turn mostly clear and cooler, with a low near 62. That sets up a much quieter Sunday, when Indianapolis can expect sunshine, a high near 76 and northwest winds of 3 to 9 mph.
Comfortable Stretch Runs Into Tuesday
Sunday night and Monday night will be chilly by late-summer standards, with lows around 58 and 59 degrees. Monday should stay mostly sunny with a high near 76, followed by a mostly sunny Tuesday near 79.
A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Wednesday afternoon, with a 20% chance during the day and a 30% chance Wednesday night. Thursday could begin with a few rain showers before skies turn mostly sunny, while the high reaches about 81.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the Indianapolis area. For Friday morning drivers, the main issue is visibility in patchy fog; slowing down and leaving extra space should make for a less dramatic start to an otherwise pleasant weather stretch.
