Indianapolis woke to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-60s early Monday, with patchy fog making parts of the morning commute look softer than usual. The fog should clear before 8 a.m., giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 80. It is a relatively gentle start to a week that turns warmer and stormier by Thursday.
Fog Clears Before A Sunny 80-Degree Afternoon
Visibility may change quickly through the early commute, especially near open fields and bodies of water. Winds will stay light from the north-northeast at around 5 to 6 mph, while sunshine builds through the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
Monday night should be mostly clear, with lows around 61. Tuesday will be sunny and a little warmer, topping out near 83, followed by another mostly clear night near 62.
Dry Through Wednesday, Storm Chances Build Thursday
Wednesday looks like the warmest dry day of the first half of the week, with sunshine and a high near 85. Rain chances remain near zero through Wednesday, giving outdoor plans a clean stretch before the forecast gets less cooperative.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms could begin after 8 a.m. Thursday, with a 50% chance of precipitation and a high near 84. Thursday night brings a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms, while Friday stays unsettled with storms likely early and possible again later in the day.
Saturday carries a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 85. Sunday should be mostly sunny and warmer, reaching about 87, though a slight chance of showers and storms remains in the forecast.
No Alerts Monday, But Keep An Eye On The Sky
The weather service says severe storm odds are currently low, though the late-week setup remains uncertain. No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for the Indianapolis area Monday morning, but Thursday and Friday look like the days most likely to disrupt outdoor plans.
