Indiana – Warm air is surging across central Indiana this morning, and you can already feel the shift as clouds begin to build ahead of a stormy setup that could disrupt travel later today.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, temperatures will climb to around 84°F this afternoon. Southwest winds increase to 8–13 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph adding a breezy feel across the region.
Storm chances ramp up fast by mid to late afternoon, especially along and south of I-70, including Indianapolis, Plainfield, and Greenfield. Scattered thunderstorms are expected, and some could turn strong to severe. The main threats include large hail and damaging wind gusts exceeding 50 mph.
Drivers should stay alert on I-70, I-65, and I-465. Sudden downpours may reduce visibility and create slick pavement during peak travel hours. Plan extra time and avoid unnecessary trips if storms intensify.
Rain chances peak near 80% tonight, with showers and storms continuing into early Monday morning. Winds shift north behind the system, ushering in much cooler air.
By Monday, temperatures drop sharply into the low 50s with gradual clearing. Cooler nights follow, dipping into the 30s. Any lingering moisture could refreeze on untreated surfaces early Tuesday, creating isolated slick spots.
Midweek brings a brief warming trend into the 60s before additional rain chances return Thursday.
Stay weather-aware as conditions evolve quickly.
