Scattered showers will then be possible as central Indiana sits in the "warm sector" of this storm system Tuesday afternoon. This will allow temperatures to recover to the mid-50s despite the clouds and rain. This system departs Tuesday evening as a cold front sweeps through. Most areas see 0.50 to 0.75" of total rainfall out of this system.

The forecast is looking good for Downtown Indy Inc.'s Circle of Lights presented by IBEW 481 slated to begin at 6 p.m. Friday. Look for partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid- to upper 40s Friday afternoon falling into the upper 30s during the show.

The pattern will become slightly more unsettled heading into next weekend. Precipitation chances look relatively low at this point, but temperatures are trending cooler with highs only in the 40s.
