One more wonderful day; heat, humidity & rain chances around the corner

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Our brief Fall preview is replaced but hot and humid conditions this weekend.

Tonight:

Mainly clear conditions with light winds.  Cool temperatures for this time of year, as lows dip to the lower to middle 50s across the region.

Thursday:

Almost a carbon copy from Wednesday.  A good mix of sun and clouds, with extremely comfortable temperatures.  Highs hit the middle to upper 70s.

Friday:

We’ll begin the day dry, with increasing clouds through much of the morning.  An upper-level disturbance pushes through the region, sparking a few showers for the afternoon and evening hours.

High temperatures only hit the middle 70s Friday afternoon.

8-day forecast:

The heat builds as we head into the weekend, with the mid to upper 80s expected both days.  Along with the heat, the humidity will be on the rise, sending our “feels like” temperatures in the lower to middle 90s.  Storm chances for both Saturday and Sunday will be scattered, so not a washout.  The warmer pattern looks to hang around for much of next week.
