Indianapolis, Indiana – Indiana is heading into a hotter stretch through the weekend, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s and a slight chance for storms Thursday afternoon. While humidity is on the rise, it’s not expected to be as oppressive as last week’s heatwave.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, highs will steadily increase from the upper 80s Thursday to near 94° by Saturday, with overnight lows staying warm in the upper 60s to low 70s. Thursday brings the only notable chance for isolated showers or storms, mainly in the afternoon and early evening.
Cities like Bloomington, Muncie, and Lafayette should expect mostly dry skies and gradual warming. Outdoor plans remain safe through the Fourth of July weekend, though residents should stay hydrated and limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat. Roads and utilities remain unaffected, but the rising humidity may impact those sensitive to air quality or heat.
This quiet stretch of weather offers a welcome break from recent storms, though more active conditions could return next week.
