Warmer and fantastic this weekend, another series of rain chances next week
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — We are about to wrap up what’s been a mostly wet workweek with a large portion of central Indiana receiving two to three inches of rain and more.
Patience will be worth the reward as this weekend is looking astounding. However, we will have to undergo another active pattern next week.
Friday night: Scattered showers and isolated storms will come to a close by tonight with skies turning mostly clear.

Highs look to swing into the mid to upper 70s. We’ll also have winds turn breezy again with gusts up to 25-30 MPH at times.
