According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, conditions improve Thursday as only a slight chance of showers remains. Clouds will break by Thursday night, setting up a sunny and warmer stretch through the weekend. Afternoon highs will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s, delivering one of the last summerlike weekends of September.
The first week of fall is also bringing noticeably cooler nights. Low temperatures will dip into the low to mid-50s Thursday and Friday, making for crisp mornings before rebounding into warm afternoons.
