TODAY
After any leftover morning cloud cover thins out, the day turns very warm and increasingly sunny by afternoon. Highs reach the mid to upper 80s, with a south breeze around 10 to 15 mph and a few gusts up to 20 mph. It will feel much more like early summer than mid-May, and most of the day looks very usable for outdoor plans.
TONIGHT
Mostly clear to partly cloudy and muggy, with lows only falling into the mid to upper 60s. A light south breeze holds through the night, and quiet weather should make for a smooth overnight stretch across central Indiana.
TOMORROW
Very warm again with a mix of clouds and sun, and highs in the low to mid 80s. A south southwest breeze around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, keeps the air moving. Most of the day still looks dry, but a few afternoon thunderstorms may begin to develop, so late day plans will need a little flexibility.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Mild and somewhat unsettled, with a chance for showers and thunderstorms through the night. Lows stay in the upper 60s, with a south wind around 10 mph. This does not look like the main severe weather window right now, but it is not a fully quiet night either.
TUESDAY
Warm, breezy, and more humid with increasing clouds and a better chance for showers and thunderstorms as the day goes on. Highs reach the low 80s, with a south southwest wind around 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to around 30 mph. This is one of the more important days to watch because the next organized system gets closer and a few storms could produce localized damaging wind.
TUESDAY NIGHT
This is the main weather period in the run. Showers become likely, thunderstorms remain possible, and the front should be moving through overnight. Lows hold near 60, with a southwest wind around 10 mph. Late evening plans will need a weather eye, and this period carries the better signal for stronger storms than Monday night does.
WEDNESDAY
A few showers and thunderstorms may linger, especially early, then the trend turns cooler and less humid as the day goes on. Highs top out in the upper 60s, with a west wind around 10 mph and a few higher gusts. The second half of the day should look and feel much better than the first.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Partly cloudy and cooler, with lows dropping into the upper 40s to near 50. A light north to northwest breeze settles in, and quiet weather gradually takes back over by late night.
THURSDAY
A pleasant, quieter spring day returns with a mix of sun and clouds. Highs reach the upper 60s, with a light north breeze around 5 to 10 mph. After the hotter and more active early week stretch, Thursday looks much more comfortable and manageable.
7 DAY FORECAST
The main story is the burst of summerlike warmth Sunday through Tuesday, with highs in the 80s before a cold front brings better storm chances Tuesday into early Wednesday. Sunday and much of Monday look hotter and quieter overall, while Tuesday into Wednesday is the more organized weather window with the best chance for stronger storms and heavier rain. After the front passes, temperatures step back down into the upper 60s by Wednesday and Thursday with lower humidity and a calmer feel.
