Indianapolis, IN – This weekend will bring warmer-than-average temperatures to central Indiana, but residents should be aware of a slight chance of rain and thunderstorms late Saturday night. Though Saturday will stay mostly sunny with highs reaching the low 80s, by evening, a small storm system could affect parts of the area, particularly near I-65 and I-70.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, a slight chance of thunderstorms may develop after 11 p.m. on Saturday. These storms could continue into the early hours of Sunday. There’s also a 30% chance of showers before 8 a.m. on Sunday, which could impact early morning travel. Drivers are encouraged to monitor road conditions, especially if traveling along I-65 or I-70.
Temperatures will remain mild during the day, with highs ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s throughout the weekend. Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny after the rain clears, with temperatures cooling to the mid-70s and dropping into the 40s at night.
For those planning outdoor activities or road trips, Saturday is likely your best bet before the rain arrives. However, keep an eye on weather updates and be prepared for potential rain late Saturday evening. By Columbus Day on Monday, cooler fall-like conditions will settle in, with highs only reaching the upper 50s. Expect temperatures to dip to the upper 30s Monday night, with continued cool weather into Tuesday.
