Indianapolis Weather Brings Mid-60s and 30 mph Gusts

Indianapolis weather turned cooler this morning as a cold front pushed through Indiana, ending lingering showers and sending drier air into the city. Highs in the Indianapolis metro area were expected to reach the mid 60s, about 8 to 10 degrees below average, with gusts up to 30 mph this afternoon.

Mid-60s Today

Low clouds may linger at times, but skies should clear by mid to late morning. That leaves the rest of the day mostly sunny and low in humidity, with temperatures in the mid 60s to mid to upper 60s across the metro area.

The wind is the main short-term change for readers planning time outside. Gusts to 30 mph can make the day feel cooler than the thermometer reads, especially in open areas and on higher ground around the city.

Friday Front In Indiana

The calmer weather does not last long. Friday is expected to bring low to mid 70s as a warm front moves through the state, and scattered thunderstorms could develop during the afternoon and evening hours.

That sets up a quick shift from today’s cooler air to a much warmer stretch by the weekend. Saturday highs are expected to climb into the mid 80s, with a few pop-up thunderstorms possible in the afternoon, while Sunday could near 90 degrees with a few early morning showers and thunderstorms.

Weekend Warm-Up

Very warm air could push temperatures close to or above 90 degrees Monday afternoon, and Monday could mark the first 90-degree day of the season. Storm chances are expected to ramp up Tuesday, pointing to a more active pattern after the weekend warmth.

For anyone planning around indianapolis weather today, the immediate window is simple: expect a dry, breezy afternoon after the morning showers ended, then adjust again for a warmer, wetter weekend that starts Friday.
