Indiana – Dark clouds are already building across central Indiana this morning, and scattered storms could disrupt travel within hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, thunderstorms will develop at times through this evening, bringing lightning, brief heavy rain, and gusty winds—especially north and east of the city. A few storms may also produce small hail, adding another hazard for drivers and anyone outdoors.
In Indianapolis, expect passing showers and storms to create slick stretches on I-65, I-70, and I-465 through the afternoon commute. Visibility may drop quickly in heavier downpours, even if totals stay under a quarter inch in most spots. Plan extra time and avoid flooded low spots.
Temperatures climb into the upper 70s today before a quieter stretch arrives. Thursday brings sunshine and a warm high near 82°F, offering a brief break.
That break won’t last long. Meteorologists are now tracking another system pushing in by Friday, with a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms developing late morning into the afternoon. Roads could again turn wet and slow-moving, especially during peak travel hours.
Storm chances continue into Friday night, then ease slightly Saturday with only isolated showers. By Sunday into Monday, another round of storms returns, with repeated chances that could impact outdoor plans and travel.
Severe weather remains limited for now, but isolated stronger storms cannot be ruled out later this week as warmer, unstable air builds.
