Indianapolis is headed for another warm, sunny day, with temperatures climbing from the low 50s this morning to around 83 degrees Wednesday afternoon. Southwest winds will pick up later, bringing gusts as high as 23 mph while rain stays almost entirely out of the picture.
The National Weather Service expects mostly clear skies tonight, with temperatures falling to about 54 degrees before a mild Thursday reaches the upper 70s. Friday will stay sunny and warm near 79 degrees, keeping the workweek unusually summery for October.
Dry Air And Gusty Winds Return Wednesday
Afternoon winds will run 10 to 12 mph from the southwest, with occasional stronger gusts. Very dry air will also push humidity lower during the afternoon, creating slightly elevated fire danger even though no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect.
Thursday brings another sunny day with a high near 77 degrees and lighter northwest winds. Friday should remain dry, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 79 degrees before clouds and moisture begin building for the weekend.
Weekend Rain Arrives After One More Warm Day
Saturday will offer one more sunny, warm day with a high near 83 degrees. Rain chances return early Sunday, with showers and thunderstorms likely, mostly cloudy skies and a cooler high near 73 degrees.
Low rain chances continue into early next week, followed by partly sunny skies and a high near 78 degrees Monday. A slight chance of showers returns Tuesday, when temperatures should settle closer to 75 degrees.
