Indianapolis, Ind. – Storm chances will persist across central Indiana through Sunday as hot, humid air fuels scattered thunderstorms with the potential for heavy downpours and gusty winds. Afternoon highs will climb into the lower 90s, making for uncomfortable conditions even outside of the storm cells.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, isolated storms are possible Saturday with a higher chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday. Forecasters warn that localized heavy rain, brief but strong wind gusts, and frequent lightning remain the primary concerns through the weekend.
Drivers along I-70 and I-65 should prepare for sudden downpours that could reduce visibility. Outdoor events in Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Muncie may be disrupted by lightning delays, while rural counties could face brief power outages if stronger storms develop.
Conditions improve slightly Monday as most of central Indiana stays dry, though forecasters note a stray storm may pop up in northern counties. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat and to stay weather-aware if storms approach.
Scattered storm chances may return later in the week as the hot, humid pattern lingers.
