Indianapolis, Ind. – Indiana drivers may need extra caution on the roads Sunday evening as thunderstorms sweep across Indianapolis and central counties. Heavy downpours could reduce visibility on major routes like I-65 and I-70, raising travel concerns through late Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated showers begin Saturday afternoon before storms become more widespread Sunday. Rainfall totals may reach half an inch, with locally higher amounts under thunderstorm cells. South winds up to 10 mph could also make for a breezy evening.
Central Indiana will shift from today’s unseasonable warmth—near 90 degrees—to cooler, unsettled fall weather by Sunday. The biggest risks include ponding on roads, slick commutes, and possible power interruptions if stronger storms develop. Residents should charge devices and plan for delays during the Sunday evening and Monday morning travel periods.
Saturday looks partly sunny with a slight shower chance, but forecasters expect more organized storms Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. The wet pattern lingers Monday with showers likely before tapering midweek. Temperatures will also cool, with highs dropping into the upper 70s to start the week.
Storm chances remain on and off through midweek, keeping conditions unsettled. Officials urge drivers to monitor alerts and limit unnecessary evening travel during heavier downpours. More advisories could follow if rainfall totals increase.
