Indianapolis, Ind. – Hoosiers can expect a stretch of cool, comfortable weather through the weekend, with only a brief interruption from possible showers and thunderstorms on Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, most of central Indiana will stay dry with daytime highs in the 70s and overnight lows dipping into the 50s. The only widespread rain chance arrives Thursday afternoon into the evening, when scattered storms could move across Marion, Hamilton, and surrounding counties.
Drivers on I-70 and I-65 may encounter slick conditions during the Thursday commute, though rainfall is not expected to be heavy. Outdoor plans for Labor Day weekend should hold up, with plenty of sunshine returning Friday and Saturday.
The cooler nights could also mean more energy savings for homeowners as air conditioners get a break, while farmers and gardeners will welcome the steady dry stretch after recent rainfall earlier this month. Officials encourage residents to stay weather-aware Thursday but otherwise enjoy the mild, late-summer pattern.
More updates are expected as Thursday’s storm potential develops, but dry conditions dominate the forecast into the weekend.
