TONIGHT

Thunderstorms will continue to rumble through central Indiana this evening, with locally heavy rain and occasional strong wind gusts. Some storms could be severe, particularly early in the evening. Areas that have already seen heavy rain could see localized flash flooding, especially where slow-moving storms repeat over the same areas. The most intense activity will gradually wind down late tonight, but spotty storms may persist in some areas. Lows will stay quite warm and muggy in the low to mid 70s.

TOMORROW

A slow-moving front draped across the state will keep the storm threat going. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely throughout the day, especially in the afternoon. Some storms could once again produce gusty winds and torrential downpours. Highs will reach the mid 80s with high humidity and light west winds. Expect a very summer-like feel to the day.

TOMORROW NIGHT

The storm threat will linger into the evening and overnight hours, with additional rounds of rain and thunder possible, especially before 2 a.m. Some locally heavy rainfall remains possible, particularly over areas that saw daytime storms. Overnight lows will fall into the low 70s with north winds turning calm late.

MONDAY

A bit of a break from the more widespread storm activity, but still a 50 percent chance of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms—mainly after 8 a.m. Highs will be slightly cooler in the low 80s under mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be from the east around 6 mph. Rain totals should remain modest for most, but isolated downpours are still possible.

TUESDAY NIGHT

Sticky conditions continue overnight with a low temperature only dropping to the upper 70s. Partly clear skies continue with southwest breeze at 5 to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY

The heat ramps up. Mostly sunny and hot with highs in the low 90s and dewpoints in the upper 70s. This will drive heat index values into the 100 to 105 range during peak heating. Winds will shift southwesterly at 5 to 10 mph.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Warm and muggy overnight with lows only dipping to the mid to upper 70s. Mostly clear skies continue with southwest breezes holding near 5 mph.

7 DAY FORECAST

After a soggy weekend and lingering Monday storms, the second half of the week turns dangerously hot.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — While Caitlin Clark is injured and not able to participate in the Three-Point Contest or in the All-Star Game this weekend in Indianapolis, that has not stopped the Indiana Fever star from enjoying the festivities.

“I think the weekend has been absolutely incredible and I hope every player in this league, whether you’re participating in the game tonight (Saturday) or were in the three-point competition, skills competition, or were just here to enjoy the All-Star weekend, I hope they feel the same and felt the love from the city,” Clark said. “Pacers Sports and Entertainment poured in so much time, money, and effort to really make this the best WNBA All-Star there’s been in this league and I’m pretty positive it’s been that.”

“Certainly there’s frustration and a little bit of sadness, but at the same time, I’ve been able to have a great time too,” Clark said.

She thanked the fans for all the support they’ve given throughout All-Star weekend.

“I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to participate last night (Friday) and won’t be able to participate tonight (Saturday), but still getting to be around to be a part of everything is really important for myself and for the fans,” Clark said. “They’ve been out in full force, whether they’re coming into the game tonight or whether they’re just enjoying all the festivities that are around our city.”

Clark injured her right groin on Tuesday in the Fever’s win against the Connecticut Sun. She was seen with a towel over her head on the sidelines after the injury.

“When the injury happened, it was pretty frustrating considering I knew what the coming days were going to hold for myself,” Clark said. “But I feel like dealing with that and I also just like trying to look at it in the most positive manner that I can.”

The Fever star has been enjoying her time this weekend, but starting on Sunday, the focus changes to recovery.

“I’m not going to say I’ve just been getting around the clock treatment,” Clark said. “I’ve been still trying to enjoy this weekend and having a balance of that at the same time and soaking all of this in and once tomorrow comes around, we’ll completely shift my focus into getting as healthy as possible.”

This is the third time during the regular season that Clark has missed time due to injury. She has also had a left quad and a left groin injury.

Clark has missed 10 regular season games, plus the championship game in the Commissioner’s Cup, with the three separate injuries.

The Fever are 8-5 with Clark in the lineup and 4-6 in the regular season without Clark. The Fever did win the Commission’s Cup championship game without Clark in the lineup. That game is not counted towards the Fever’s regular season record.

Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game in 13 games this season.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WISH) — A male was fatally injured early Saturday morning in a shooting on River Run Trail in Fort Wayne.

At 3:10 a.m. Saturday, officers with the Fort Wayne Police Department (FWPD) responded to the 1800 block of River Run Trail on reports of shots fired. That is a residential area. Officers arrived and found a male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Medics transported the male to a local hospital in critical condition.

The male was pronounced dead at the hospital. The name and the age of the male is unknown at this time.

FWPD detectives are searching the area for witnesses, evidence, and camera footage. Investigators ask that anyone with information regarding this incident call the Fort Wayne Police Department at 260-427-1222, Crime Stoppers at 260-436-7867, or use the anonymous P3 Tips app.

(AP) — The IT company CEO captured in a widely circulated video showing him embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert has resigned.

Andy Byron resigned from his job as CEO of Cincinnati-based Astronomer Inc., according to a statement posted on LinkedIn by the company Saturday.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company said in its post on LinkedIn.

The move comes a day after the company said that Byron had been placed on leave and the board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the jumbotron incident, which went viral. A company spokesman later confirmed in a statement to AP that it was Byron and Astronomer chief people officer Kristin Cabot in the video.

The short video clip shows Byron and Cabot as captured on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during a Coldplay concert on Wednesday.

Lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song,” when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” he joked.

Internet sleuths identified the man as the chief executive officer of a U.S.-based company and the woman as its chief people officer.

Pete DeJoy, Astronomer’s cofounder and chief product officer, has been tapped as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for Byron’s successor.

Most concert venues warn attendees that they can be filmed

It’s easy to miss, but most concert venues have signs informing the audience that they could be filmed during the event. Look for them on the walls when you arrive and around the bar areas or toilets. It’s common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films.

The venue in this case, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, also has a privacy policy online which states: “When you visit our location or attend or participate in an event at our location, we may capture your image, voice and/or likeness, including through the use of CCTV cameras and/or when we film or photograph you in a public location.”

Once captured, a moment can be shared widely

“They probably would have got away with it if they hadn’t reacted,” said Alison Taylor, a clinical associate professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. And by the time the alleged identities emerged on social media, it hit a classic nerve around “leaders acting like the rules don’t apply to them,” she added.

Still, Taylor and others stress how quickly such a video lead to an internet search to find the people involved — and note that it’s important to remember that such “doxing” isn’t just reserved for famous people. Beyond someone simply spotting a familiar face and spreading the word, technological advances, such as the rising adoption of artificial intelligence, has made it easier and faster overall to find just about anyone in a viral video today.

“It’s a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system,” said Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Journalism and Media. “When you think about it, we are being surveilled by our social media. They’re tracking us in exchange for entertaining us.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Second Helpings, a community kitchen in Indianapolis, has been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Jacques Pépin Foundation as part of their Summer 2025 Grant Awards.

The grant will support Second Helpings’ efforts to provide a free, 7-week culinary training program for unemployed and underemployed adults, helping them launch careers in the food service industry.

“Thanks to a generous grant from the Jacques Pépin Foundation, more students will have the chance to gain the life and career skills they need to thrive,” Chef Kyle Burnett, culinary job training manager at Second Helpings, said in a release.

“The JPF’s mission is realized in part by supporting programs that create opportunities through culinary training,” Rollie Wesen, executive Director of the JPF, said in a release.

Second Helpings says it will use the grant to “address shortfalls caused by a pause and uncertainty in two federal grants that help cover essential program costs” such as staff salaries and equipment. In addition to the financial grant, Second Helpings will receive JPF branded aprons for their students and a group membership to the Foundation.

Founded in 2016, the Jacques Pépin Foundation has given over $1.8 million to more than 80 non-profit culinary arts training programs across the nation.

Second Helpings’ program rescues over 325,000 pounds of food each month, transforming it into more than 5,500 meals daily while training over 1,000 adults to date. On Friday, Second Helpings celebrated the graduation of Culinary Job Training Class 168.

WESTBURY, N.Y. (AP) — A man who was pulled into an MRI machine in New York after he walked into the room wearing a large chain necklace has died, according to police and his wife, who told a local television outlet that he waved goodbye before his body went limp.

The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him in by his metallic necklace, according to a release from the Nassau County Police Department.

He died Thursday afternoon, but a police officer who answered the phone at the Nassau County police precinct where the MRI facility is located said the department had not been given permission to release the name Saturday.

Adrienne Jones-McAllister told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband, Keith McAllister, to help her get off the table.

When he got close to her, she said, “at that instant, the machine switched him around, pulled him in and he hit the MRI.”

“I said: ‘Could you turn off the machine, call 911, do something, Turn this damn thing off!’” she recalled, as tears ran down her face. “He went limp in my arms.”

She told News 12 that the technician summoned into the room her husband, who was wearing a 20-pound chain that he uses for weight training, an object they’d had a casual conversation about during a previous visit.

“He waved goodbye to me and then his whole body went limp,” Jones-McAllister told the TV outlet.

A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI on Long Island declined to comment Friday. The phone number went unanswered on Saturday.

It wasn’t the first New York death to result from an MRI machine.

In 2001, 6-year-old Michael Colombini of Croton-on-Hudson was killed at the Westchester Medical Center when an oxygen tank flew into the chamber, drawn in by the MRI’s 10-ton electromagnet.

In 2010, records filed in Westchester County revealed that the family settled a lawsuit for $2.9 million.

MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field” that “exerts very powerful forces on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetizable objects,” according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, which says the units are “strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room.”
