Indianapolis, IN – Central Indiana is in for a hot and dry weekend, with temperatures peaking in the low 80s on Sunday. Those planning outdoor activities along the I-65 or US-31 corridors should take advantage of clear skies and warm conditions, as rain chances remain minimal. Cooler temperatures will return early next week, making it an ideal time to wrap up outdoor projects or get outside for fall activities.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday will see highs nearing 79°F in Indianapolis, with mostly sunny skies and calm winds. Any rain chances will remain confined to areas northwest of the city through the afternoon, with only a slim chance of showers. Saturday will bring similar conditions, with a high of 80°F and dry air across most of the region.
Looking ahead, Sunday’s high will reach a toasty 82°F, but a cold front passing through late in the day will shift temperatures dramatically. Expect cooler conditions starting Monday, with highs dropping to the upper 60s and low 70s for the rest of the week.
For travelers, no major weather-related delays are expected along key roadways, including I-65, I-70, and US-31. However, as fall approaches, be prepared for changing weather patterns by the end of next week. Drivers should also monitor updates for possible wind gusts along open highways, especially on Sunday.
