INDIANAPOLIS — A dome of high pressure will be the dominant weather feature throughout the weekend keeping skies clear allowing for lots of sunshine.
Today will be the coolest day in the extended forecast with highs in the low 50s. The average high this time of year is still around 54. Bundle up but remember your sunglasses if you're headed to West Lafayette as the Purdue Boilermakers will be hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Sunset this evening will be at 5:33 and with a clear sky, temperatures will drop rather quickly. We'll fall through the 40s during the evening hours and eventually into the mid 30s for overnight lows.
Winds will shift from the northeast to the southeast for Sunday allowing for a warming trend. Temperatures will warm through the 40s during the morning if you'll be up early rooting on the Colts taking on the Patriots in Germany. Remember that early kickoff at 9:30 am! We'll then top out in the upper 50s Sunday afternoon under a sunny sky.
The quiet pattern and warming trend will continue through the work week with plenty of sunshine and temperatures climbing into the low 60s Monday through Thursday.
Our next weather system that brings rain to the area arrives Friday afternoon. Temperatures will still top out near 60 ahead of the cold front. Showers will be possible through Friday evening. Behind the front, it'll be a cooler set-up for next weekend with highs back in the 50s.
