Indianapolis is starting Monday, November 2, with light drizzle and cloudy skies. The damp, gray opening gives way to a mild afternoon near 65, but the bigger weather swing arrives Tuesday, when the city could reach 75 degrees before rain and thunderstorms move in Tuesday night.
Patchy drizzle is expected into early Monday, with cloudy skies and a south-southeast breeze of 8 to 12 mph. Rain chances remain slight, and Monday night should be mostly cloudy, with a low near 56.
Tuesday Brings The Week’s Warmest Weather
Tuesday looks like the brief warm-up in the middle of an otherwise active stretch. The National Weather Service is calling for partly sunny skies and a high near 75, with fairly strong winds ahead of and behind the front Tuesday into Tuesday night; gusts of 35 to 40 mph or more are possible during that period.
That pleasant-looking forecast will come with a noticeable breeze, so lightweight outdoor plans should be comfortable but blustery. Hoodline's November 1 forecast already called for showers likely after 7 p.m. Tuesday, with a 60% chance of rain.
Rain And Thunderstorms Arrive Tuesday Night
Showers are expected Tuesday night, followed by showers and thunderstorms before dawn Wednesday. The chance of rain is about 60%, with a quarter-inch of rainfall possible.
Wednesday remains mostly cloudy, wet and warm by November standards, with a high near 69 and an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters do not expect a widespread severe-weather setup, but stronger storms cannot be ruled out, so drivers and anyone with outdoor plans should keep an eye on changing conditions.
Cooler, Quieter Weather Returns Late Week
Showers may linger into late week. Thursday is expected to be mostly sunny, with a high near 64. Friday brings a high near 64 and a smaller rain chance, with possible showers continuing into the weekend.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Indianapolis. For Monday, the main nuisances are damp roads, low clouds and reduced visibility in spots; the more meaningful weather change arrives Tuesday night and Wednesday.
