An unseasonably warm and breezy day is on tap for central Indiana as winds shift from the south and will be gusty up to 25 mph at times. This breeze will help usher in a milder air mass. As skies become mostly sunny this afternoon, look for highs nearly 20 degrees above average near 70.

The standing record for Indianapolis on Mar. 4 is 78 degrees set back in 1983. Clouds will increase Monday with rain chances moving in overnight as a cold front approaches.
