Indianapolis is starting Monday with light rain and temperatures around 63 degrees. Showers and a few thunderstorms are likely through the early morning, with a high near 70 before rain chances ease later in the day. Gray skies and a northeast breeze will make this feel more like fall than a late-summer warmup.
Rainy Morning Could Bring Brief Downpours
Showers are most likely during the morning, with the chance of rain gradually falling from about 50% to near 20% by early afternoon. The National Weather Service says locally heavy rain is possible, though the risk of severe weather remains low and most rainfall should stay under a tenth of an inch.
Rain is expected to diminish before 4 p.m., but clouds will linger through the evening. Northeast winds of 7 to 10 mph could gust up to 20 mph, so a wet morning commute may also feel noticeably cool on exposed streets and bridges.
Cool, Cloudy Pattern Holds Through Thursday
Monday night will remain mostly cloudy with a low near 58 degrees, followed by highs around 70 Tuesday and 69 Wednesday. Thursday should reach about 71 degrees, with mostly cloudy skies and little to no rain expected through the middle of the week.
The forecast gradually turns brighter and milder late in the week, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 71 Friday and 72 Saturday. Sunday could bring the warmest afternoon of the stretch at around 76 degrees, giving Indianapolis a slow, steady return to more comfortable outdoor weather.
