INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A heat advisory will be in effect from 11 AM to 8 PM on Wednesday.

Today:

Patchy fog is possible early this morning; otherwise, conditions will be clear, quiet, and very muggy.

Central Indiana will experience one more day of intense heat and humidity with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. High temperatures will reach the low to mid-90s, with heat indices ranging between 101 and 105 across Central and Southern Indiana, where a heat advisory is in place.

A few storms may develop in the northern third of the state by mid to late afternoon, but most of Central Indiana should remain dry during the daytime hours.

Storms move in tonight:

A cold front approaching the state later this evening will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to areas along and north of Interstate 70.

Much of the state is under a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe storms, with damaging winds being the primary concern.

In addition to a few gusty storms, heavy rainfall and the potential for isolated flooding could occur overnight.

Big changes Thursday:

The cold front will move through the state during the first half of Thursday, bringing on-and-off showers and thunderstorms through lunchtime.

Following the front, expect mostly cloudy to partly cloudy conditions and a significant drop in temperatures. Highs will reach only the mid to upper 70s on Thursday afternoon.

Fantastic weekend:

Beautiful weather is expected for Friday and the weekend. Below-average temperatures, much lower humidity, and plenty of sunshine will make for a pleasant stretch as we head into the first weekend of August.

7 day forecast:

There are signs that the pattern will become more active and muggy early next week, with near-normal temperatures and daily rain chances on Monday and Tuesday.
