Indianapolis, IN – Residents across Indiana can expect a mix of sun and rain in the lead-up to Christmas Day, with temperatures climbing well above seasonal norms. Sunday begins with sunny skies and highs near 35 degrees, offering favorable weather for last-minute holiday errands.

According to the National Weather Service, rain chances return Monday afternoon, with a 30% chance after 1 p.m. and highs nearing 43 degrees. Gusty winds up to 23 mph could make conditions less comfortable for evening commuters. Showers continue into Tuesday and Christmas Day, with a 40% chance of rain and highs soaring to 48 degrees on Wednesday.

Travelers should exercise caution on slick roads as rainfall increases midweek. Those driving on major routes such as I-65 or I-70 are urged to prepare for reduced visibility and potential ponding. Overnight lows in the low 30s mean icy patches are unlikely, but wet conditions may still cause delays.

Looking ahead, temperatures will remain mild through Thursday, with highs near 52 degrees. However, colder air is expected to arrive in January, bringing increased chances of snow and freezing temperatures across central Indiana.

With rain in the forecast, residents are advised to keep umbrellas handy and monitor updates for potential holiday travel impacts. For those planning outdoor celebrations, plan for wet conditions and dress appropriately to stay warm during cooler evenings.
