Indianapolis, IN – Central Indiana residents are bracing for a spell of unseasonably warm weather this Halloween week. With temperatures expected to climb into the mid-70s, significantly higher than the typical late-October range of 59°F to 61°F, many may need to adjust their fall routines.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, temperatures across Indiana will stay well above the norm through the weekend, with highs of 69°F to 77°F forecast through Halloween, far surpassing the typical autumn chill. Thursday will see sunny skies with a high near 63°F, followed by a 30 percent chance of rain overnight. These conditions are expected to intensify, bringing showers during Friday’s morning and afternoon commutes, particularly along I-70 and I-465.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution, as heavy rainfall could make roads slick, especially between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday. Showers will likely taper off by early evening, but cloud cover may persist into Friday night. Sunny skies are expected to return for the weekend, with highs around 61°F on Saturday and 59°F on Sunday.
Residents should remain alert for changing weather conditions, particularly if traveling during peak hours on major highways. Be sure to secure any outdoor Halloween decorations that could be impacted by wind gusts or rain, and dress in layers to accommodate the varying temperatures.
Stay updated through local weather alerts for further details on changing conditions. The upcoming week will demand vigilance for anyone planning outdoor activities or commuting on Friday, as rain is expected to affect most of central Indiana.
