INDIANAPOLIS — Clouds will continue to build for today, but a shift in wind direction to the south will begin pushing slightly more mild temperatures into central Indiana. Look for highs in the low-to-mid-50s.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies are in store for the evening and overnight as temperatures stay more mild in the low 40s. We'll stay mainly cloudy as temperatures surge to near 60 degrees Thursday afternoon. The warmer temperatures will come along with gusty southerly winds up to 35 mph at times as well as spotty rain showers developing in the afternoon and continuing into the evening.
Rain chances end before daybreak Friday with mainly dry conditions during the day. Highs will push the standing record which is 66 degrees from 1943. The forecast is calling for temperatures to peak in the low-to-mid-60s Friday afternoon as we sit in the warm sector of this weather system.
A cold front will move through during the overnight Friday into Saturday morning and bring another round of rain showers. A few showers will linger through early Saturday morning before the sky clears and temperatures fall a bit. Look for highs falling back into the low 50s Saturday under a partly cloudy sky.
We'll stay partly cloudy for the big game on Sunday as cooler air continues to move in keeping highs in the mid-40s. The overall temperature trend will continue to move closer to more seasonal levels with highs expected to be in the low 40s into next week.
