Indianapolis gets a mostly dry, partly sunny Friday after Thursday’s rain, with temperatures climbing from the mid-60s to a high near 83. A light east wind should keep conditions fairly manageable for errands, patio plans and the afternoon commute, though clouds will linger at times.
A Quiet Friday Gives Way To Overnight Showers
Rain chances stay near zero through most of Friday, but the forecast gets less settled after 3 a.m. Saturday. Isolated showers could develop overnight, with a 20% chance of precipitation and temperatures holding near 68 to 70 degrees.
That is a modest shift from the rainier setup outlined in Thursday’s Hoodline forecast, but the weekend still carries some wet-weather risk. Saturday brings scattered showers before 2 p.m., followed by isolated showers and thunderstorms between 2 and 5 p.m.; the chance of rain is 30%, with new rainfall generally under a tenth of an inch.
Weekend Warm-Up Arrives Quickly
Saturday should reach about 86 under partly sunny skies, then turn partly cloudy Saturday night with a low near 67. Sunday looks mostly sunny and warmer at 88, while Monday stays mostly sunny with a high near 86.
The bigger heat push arrives Tuesday, when Indianapolis could hit 93 with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m.; south-southwest winds may gust to 20 mph. Wednesday remains hot near 91 with a 50% storm chance, and Thursday brings likely rain showers and thunderstorms with a 60% precipitation chance and a high near 88, according to the National Weather Service Indianapolis.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the city in the current forecast. For outdoor plans, Friday and Sunday look like the cleanest bets, while Saturday afternoon and the middle to end of next week deserve a closer look at the sky before heading out.
