INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One more day of overhead wildfire smoke before our best chance for widespread precipitation moves in for the end of the weekend.
Friday:
Air quality alerts are again in place for most of the state, as northeasterly winds continue to drag down smoke from the ongoing wildfires in Canada.
Outside of that, it should be another really nice day. Highs should hover around 80° with lots of sunshine this afternoon.
Friday night:
Still a bit hazy through the overnight, but otherwise quiet. Lows fall to the low/mid 50s.
Saturday:
Winds will shift ahead of a cold front, which should help to clean the air up a bit. We should see a lot of sunshine with highs in the mid 80s.
Sunday:
Low pressure with trailing cold front will take aim on the state Sunday – likely for the afternoon and evening hours, brining Indiana’s best chance for rain in almost 3 weeks. No severe weather is expected, and many areas around the state should see at least 0.5″ of rainfall for the day, while others could go as high as 1.0″ with some isolated higher amounts possible.
Highs top out in the mid 70s.
8 day forecast:
Dry air quickly moves in behind the Sunday storm system. Monday will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s. Low pressure spinning east of Michigan could drag down a few isolated showers for Tuesday and Wednesday, but we’re not expecting widespread rain at this time. Temperatures will hover just below to near normal through the middle of next week. Could see an uptick in temps near the end of the extended.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Air quality alerts in place for all of Indiana Thursdya.
Thursday:
Quiet day ahead. Northeast winds again will bring down smoke from ongoing wildfires in southeastern Canada. Some of that smoke could make it down to the surface. All of the state is under an air quality alert. Those with breathing issues and other sensitive groups should limit their time outdoors Thursday and Friday.
Otherwise, the rest the day looks great. Temperatures should be quite comfortable despite the hazy conditions, with highs in the upper 70s.
Tonight:
Mainly clear and again hazy. A little chilly in spots, too. Lows fall to the lower 50s.
Friday:
Another round of hazy conditions, but nice temperatures. Highs top out in the lower 80s.
Weekend:
Winds will shift on Saturday, which should kick out the overhead smoke. Expect partly cloudy conditions and highs in the mid 80s.
Upper level wave along with a cold front will move in Sunday, bringing Indiana’s best chance for rain that we have had in weeks. Rain could arrive as early as Saturday night, but looking mostly to be a Sunday/Sunday evening event. Many areas could pick up around 0.5″ of rain.
8 day forecast:
Pattern finally looks to be a bit more active heading into next week, with several little waves moving through the Midwest over the coming days, bringing with it several rain chances. Temperatures will remain just below average into early next week, with a warming trend on tap for the middle of the week.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Light showers will move out this morning, making for a sunny and comfortable end to the week.
Wednesday:
Cold front marching through continues to squeeze out very light showers for the southern half of the state this morning. Unfortunately, it won’t be enough to ease up the developing drought conditions, with only very light measurable amounts for southern Indiana through late morning.
Clouds will decrease heading into the afternoon. Dry air will make for some very pleasant conditions settling in, with highs in the mid/upper 70s this afternoon.
Wednesday night:
Clear and cool overnight. Lows fall to the mid 50s.

Sunny and mild. Highs in the mid/upper 70s.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The dry pattern continues for much of the week, with only spotty light rain chances possible for parts of the state leading into Wednesday morning.
Tuesday:
Wildfire smoke continues to hover overhead this morning, with a few stations around the state reporting some of that smoke has reached the surface. Expect a hazy look for much of the morning before winds shift this afternoon, which should push the overhead smoke south of the area.
An approaching cold front will slowly move in from the north. Probably won’t have enough moisture or instability for any showers during the day, but clouds will likely increase later this afternoon.
Highs top out in the lower/middle 80s.

Previously mentioned front will push through the state, sparking a few showers across our area. Unfortunately, rain will be very light and spotty at best for the overnight hours.

Monday:
Wildfire smoke from fires in Quebec and other parts of southeastern Canada continue to filter down into the Midwest due to a northeast flow.

Mainly clear and comfortably cool. Lows fall to the upper 50s.

Another hazy day, but should be a bit warmer. Highs top out in the mid 80s.

Reinforcing shot of really dry air behind the front will keep our weather pleasant for the mid-week, with highs returning to the upper 70s/lower 80s.

Cooler temperatures settle in for the middle/end of the week, with highs a bit closer to the seasonal normal. Rain chances a slim to none through at least the start of the weekend.

Tuesday:
Quiet and mild start to the day. Humidity will be up just a touch this afternoon, which could aid in a few spotty downpours/thunderstorms to develop during the peak heating of the day.
