INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A blanket of low clouds hangs over the city this early Sunday morning, diffusing the glow of streetlights and muting the skyline. By midday, the gray will begin to peel away — the first sign of a slow, short-lived calm before another wet pattern builds across central Indiana.
The National Weather Service in Indianapolis reports gradual clearing through Sunday, with afternoon highs reaching the low 60s under light east winds. Skies turn partly cloudy tonight before sunshine returns Monday. Temperatures will warm slightly, peaking near 62°F, perfect for outdoor cleanup or early Halloween decorating before the next change in the weather arrives.
By late Tuesday, a new system from the southwest will push into the region, bringing widespread rain showers and gusty winds through midweek. Showers will likely continue into Wednesday, with rainfall totals between a half and three-quarters of an inch possible — enough to dampen commutes along I-65 and I-70. Highs drop into the 50s, and cooler air lingers behind the front.
The end of the week looks drier and calmer, just in time for Halloween festivities. Friday evening’s trick-or-treat temperatures should hover near 50°F under mostly clear skies — crisp but comfortable with no rain expected.
After a soggy midweek stretch, the transition toward November looks cooler across Indiana, with early hints of frost possible next weekend — a reminder that true fall chill isn’t far behind.
