Showers or drizzle are expected Thursday evening into the overnight, ahead of cooler weather in Indianapolis Friday, November 6. Temperatures will cool into the low to mid-40s Friday, with a few showers possible mainly in far northern counties before skies begin to brighten.

Drizzle Fades As Winds Turn Northerly

According to the National Weather Service, showers or drizzle are expected mainly Thursday evening into the overnight, and a few showers cannot be ruled out Friday, mainly in far northern counties. Mostly cloudy skies are expected to hold on for much of Friday. North-northwest winds could gust to 18 mph, making conditions feel colder; no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect.

Cold Nights Arrive Before Weekend Sunshine

Friday night will turn partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 36 degrees. Saturday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 53, but Saturday night could fall to about 32 degrees, so early outdoor plans may require more than a light jacket.

Sunshine And 60s Return Next Week

The forecast settles down after Friday, with dry weather expected through the middle of next week. Sunday's high should remain in the 50s, followed by highs around 63 Monday and 66 Tuesday, while Veterans Day on Wednesday is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 62.

For Friday, commuters should be ready for damp pavement and a few passing showers, especially before midafternoon. The weekend looks much better for outdoor plans, but the mornings will be cold before the afternoon sunshine takes over.
