Indianapolis, Indiana – Hot, sticky weather will hold over Indiana Friday, but strong thunderstorms could turn dangerous by Saturday afternoon, especially northeast of Indianapolis.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, highs Friday will climb into the low 90s under partly sunny skies, but the region stays mostly rain-free. Storm chances ramp up by Saturday afternoon, with the threat of isolated severe thunderstorms from Indy to Muncie and Fort Wayne. Heavy downpours could lead to minor flooding, particularly in low-lying or poorly drained areas.
Cities including Anderson, Marion, and Kokomo should prepare for downpours late Saturday, with the strongest cells arriving between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. Lightning, gusty winds, and ponding on roads could impact travel. Storms are expected to continue off and on into Sunday, especially in eastern counties.
Residents are urged to monitor alerts, secure outdoor items, and avoid driving through flooded roads. If you lose power, have flashlights and mobile chargers ready.
The humidity and storm risk will ease slightly by Monday, but temperatures remain in the mid-to-upper 80s. Another round of storms may return midweek.
Warnings remain in effect through Sunday evening. Additional advisories may be issued.
