Gray skies stretch across central Indiana this morning, signaling the start of an unsettled weekend pattern that will bring rain, colder air, and possibly the first snowflakes of November to the Indianapolis area. The region’s long stretch of mild fall days is about to break as a colder air mass sweeps in from the upper Midwest.
Scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder are expected through midday as moisture deepens across the I-70 corridor. Most storms stay non-severe, though gusty winds up to 25 mph could make the day feel brisk. Highs will briefly reach the mid-60s before temperatures slide Saturday into the lower 50s under mostly cloudy skies.
By Sunday, the pattern shifts sharply colder. Rain showers early in the day may mix with or change to snow late afternoon into evening as colder northwest winds push in. While no significant accumulation is expected, residents could see flakes flying across the metro area — a reminder that winter isn’t far away.
Sunday night lows drop into the mid-20s, setting the stage for a chilly Veterans Day on Monday. Skies will clear, but highs only reach the upper 30s, marking a 20–25° drop from the weekend start. The rest of next week trends sunny and dry, with gradual warming expected midweek.
