Indianapolis, IN – Hoosiers should brace for one more round of unsettled weather Tuesday before a refreshing stretch of fall sunshine takes over by midweek. The National Weather Service in Indianapolis warns of scattered thunderstorms across central Indiana today, including along I-70 and I-65, where brief downpours may affect morning and midday commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated thunderstorms are possible through Tuesday evening. While severe weather isn’t expected, lightning remains a hazard for anyone outdoors. Drivers should stay alert on highways and avoid flooded lanes. Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.
By Wednesday, conditions shift dramatically. Cooler, drier air will sweep in, with highs near 68°F and crystal-clear skies expected through Friday. Low humidity and light winds will make for ideal conditions for pumpkin patch visits, early Halloween decorating, and leaf-viewing trips across Marion and surrounding counties.
Thursday and Friday will feature abundant sunshine with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s—classic early October perfection. The weekend looks comfortable, with Saturday near 74°F and Sunday slightly cooler but dry.
