Weather Forecast: Spotty Storms Today, Strong Thunderstorms Expected Thursday
Indianapolis may experience patchy fog early today, followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. While there will be wet weather, it won’t fully overshadow the day as some areas will see dry spells, with high temperatures reaching near 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tonight, the thunderstorms are expected to subside, leading to partly cloudy skies and overnight lows dipping into the mid-60s.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with soaring temperatures into the upper 80s, potentially breaking the record of 88 degrees set in 2001. It will be a humid day, with breezy conditions originating from the south at speeds of 5 to 15 mph, and gusts possibly up to 20 mph.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are anticipated to develop later in the afternoon and may continue into the early evening. All severe weather elements are possible, with a slight risk that some storms could reach severe levels.
The seven-day extended forecast indicates that humidity will remain elevated on Friday, with another round of showers and thunderstorms expected in the afternoon, particularly south of Indianapolis. Highs on Friday will be in the mid-80s.
However, the weekend weather appears favorable, featuring dry conditions with partly cloudy skies on Saturday and Sunday, as temperatures settle into the upper 70s. Humidity levels are expected to decrease as well, providing a more comfortable end to the weekend.
As we enter the new work week, the trend of dry and pleasant weather is likely to continue with temperatures in the upper 70s.
Overall, while storms may disrupt the day, there’s a silver lining ahead with a pleasant weekend on the horizon.
