Indianapolis, Indiana – Hoosiers can expect perfect pool weather through Tuesday as high temperatures climb into the mid to upper 80s, though hazy skies from wildfire smoke may dim the sunshine.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, dry conditions will persist through Tuesday with highs reaching 83°F today and 87°F on Tuesday. Overnight lows will remain mild in the upper 50s to upper 60s. However, scattered strong storms could move in by Wednesday evening, bringing gusty winds and brief downpours.
The hazy skies are due to elevated wildfire smoke in the atmosphere, which could affect air quality in parts of central Indiana. Residents with respiratory conditions should limit prolonged outdoor activity, especially during the afternoon hours.
Major cities like Bloomington, Muncie, and Lafayette will all see similar highs in the 80s, with heat index values approaching 90°F by midweek. While no air quality alerts have been issued yet, officials advise staying informed as conditions evolve.
Wednesday’s storms may bring lightning and localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Be prepared to move indoors quickly if storms develop.
