Indianapolis, IN – Hoosiers are enjoying an unusually mild start to the weekend, with temperatures climbing well into the 50s early this morning and highs expected to reach either side of 70 degrees this afternoon. But forecasters say the warmup will be brief, with a sharp return to autumn conditions arriving Sunday.
According to the US National Weather Service Northern Indiana, a weak cold front will move across the region this afternoon, bringing the chance for a brief passing sprinkle. Winds will stay breezy through the day, continuing to pull in mild air before temperatures fall quickly tonight.
Sunday marks a major change, with highs only reaching the mid-40s to upper 40s across northern Indiana. The cooler air will be accompanied by another round of breezy conditions, making the day feel even colder. Lows Sunday night are expected to drop into the mid-20s to upper 20s, signaling a return to more seasonal November weather after Saturday’s springlike warmth.
Forecasters say Monday will remain cool, with highs in the mid-40s under increasing cloud cover. While no significant precipitation is expected early in the week, the National Weather Service notes that additional pattern changes later next week could bring new weather systems into the region.
Drivers and residents across Northern Indiana—including communities near Fort Wayne, South Bend, Elkhart, and Warsaw—should prepare for fluctuating temperatures and brisk winds through the remainder of the weekend. Outdoor plans today remain favorable outside of a light sprinkle, but those heading out Sunday will want to dress for colder, breezy conditions.
