Indianapolis, Indiana – Indiana residents will endure another stretch of hot, dry weather through Friday, with highs reaching the upper 80s to around 90 degrees and an ongoing air quality alert in effect until tonight. Officials warn that a marginal fire danger remains possible during the afternoons as humidity stays low.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, the state will remain mostly rain-free through Saturday afternoon before a slight shift in the weather pattern brings chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday night through Tuesday. Rainfall probabilities stay modest, near 30 percent, but any storms could help ease dry conditions.
The heat will persist longest in central cities such as Indianapolis, Muncie, and Vincennes, where readings will stay above normal through Friday before dipping closer to the mid-80s by Sunday. Roads, parks, and outdoor venues may see impacts as high ozone levels reduce air quality, especially for sensitive groups.
Residents are encouraged to limit strenuous outdoor activities during the afternoon hours, hydrate frequently, and avoid open burning until conditions improve.
Temperatures begin trending downward into early next week, but storm chances will linger, keeping weather unsettled at times through Tuesday.
