Indiana – A cool, gray start hangs over central Indiana this morning, but warmer air is already pushing in fast, setting up a sharp shift you’ll feel within hours.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb to around 65°F today with southwest winds gusting over 20 mph, signaling the start of a rapid spring warm-up.
That warming accelerates into early week.
By Monday, Indianapolis jumps to 74°F with breezy southwest winds gusting up to 31 mph. It will feel more like late spring by afternoon. Plan outdoor time early before conditions turn more active.
Storm chances begin building soon after.
A few thunderstorms may develop by late Monday night, but impacts stay limited at first. Still, conditions can shift quickly after sunset. Keep devices charged and stay weather-aware.
Tuesday brings the main concern.
Highs surge to 81°F, but that warmth fuels instability. Scattered thunderstorms develop by late morning into the afternoon. Winds may gust near 30 mph, especially along I-65 and I-70. Expect brief heavy rain and reduced visibility.
Rain intensifies into Tuesday night.
Storms become more widespread with up to a 70% chance of rain. Wet pavement and ponding could slow travel during evening commutes. Plan extra time.
Midweek turns cooler and unsettled.
By Wednesday, highs drop to around 59°F with steady rain likely. Showers and storms continue into Wednesday night and Thursday, keeping roads slick and conditions damp across Marion County.
Looking ahead, early April trends warmer again, hinting at another spring surge after this wet stretch.
