Indianapolis gets one more warm, sunny day Tuesday before the weather takes a sharp turn. Highs should reach the upper 60s under clear skies, but showers arrive late Wednesday and a much colder pattern settles in by Thursday.
Sunshine And Mid-60s Tuesday
Early Tuesday readings were in the mid-40s with clear skies across the city. Afternoon temperatures should climb to about 67 degrees, with little chance of rain and a light west wind.
The National Weather Service expects another mild start Wednesday, with a high near 64. Rain chances increase after 4 p.m., and a few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out late Wednesday into the evening.
Rain Gives Way To A Raw Late Week
Thursday looks like the biggest change, with mostly cloudy skies, a chance of rain and a high near 49. Northwest winds could gust as high as 22 mph, making the day feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
Friday stays chilly, with a high near 44 and a low in the mid-20s Friday night. The broader central Indiana forecast leaves room for a few snowflakes Friday morning, although the Indianapolis point forecast favors partly sunny skies and only a small precipitation chance.
The latest outlook adds a colder finish to the forecast covered in Monday's weather update. The weekend should turn dry again, with mostly sunny skies, highs near 46 Saturday and 50 Sunday, followed by a slow warmup toward the low 50s Monday.
No Advisories Are In Effect
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Indianapolis area. Tuesday is the best window for outdoor plans, while Wednesday evening through Friday will call for rain gear, warmer layers and extra caution around gusty winds.
