INDIANAPOLIS — We'll start the weekend with the warmest temperatures in the extended forecast. A warm front is lifting through the state which will push temperatures into the low 40s north, mid-to-upper 40s for the Indianapolis metro area and into the low 50s across the southern tier of the state.
There will be a little sun out there to start the day with clouds increasing this afternoon and a few rain showers moving in after sunset. Rain will become more widespread in the evening and overnight as temperatures hold steady in the low to mid 40s.
We'll see the warmest temperatures on Sunday during the first part of the day ahead of an afternoon cold front. Temperatures will slide from the low to mid 40s into the 30s after 12 p.m. and eventually fall to near freezing around sunset. Any leftover moisture could bring a brief combination of freezing rain and rain. Slick spots will be possible Sunday night into Monday morning.
After a light wintry mix early Monday, we'll have a mainly dry day as colder air takes over. Highs will only be near 30. Then, a more quiet but cold pattern settles in for the work week.
Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week with morning lows in the teens and highs in the mid 20s. Temperatures will moderate slightly with highs back in the 30s for Wednesday and beyond.
