Indianapolis, Indiana – Unseasonably warm temperatures could tie or break records in Indianapolis on Wednesday, prompting a National Weather Service record watch.
According to the US National Weather Service in Indianapolis, both the record high temperature and the record highest minimum temperature may be reached Wednesday. The forecast calls for a low of 53 degrees and a high of 68 degrees.
The current record high for Feb. 18 is 66 degrees, set in 2017. If temperatures reach the projected 68 degrees, that record would be surpassed by two degrees. Forecasters also noted that the unusually warm overnight low could challenge historical records for highest minimum temperature on that date.
Daily high temperatures are expected to remain in the 60s through Thursday, continuing a stretch of above-average warmth across central Indiana. Typical mid-February highs in Indianapolis are significantly cooler, making this week’s temperatures notable for the season.
While no hazardous weather is expected, the warm conditions may impact outdoor plans and seasonal routines. The extended mild stretch may also affect early spring activities for students and commuters across the region.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official updates from the National Weather Service for the latest forecast information.
