Sep 12, 2026
TONIGHT
Any isolated shower or thunderstorm still around early this evening should fade fairly quickly, leaving a quieter night across central Indiana. Expect partly cloudy skies with lows falling into the middle to upper 60s. Winds become light at around 5 mph. Patchy fog may develop
late tonight in a few locations, especially where heavier rain fell earlier Saturday.
TOMORROW
Warmer and humid conditions return with a mixture of sunshine and clouds. Highs reach the middle 80s. A few scattered showers or thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon and evening, but coverage should remain limited enough that much of the day stays dry. West to northwest winds remain around 5–10 mph. Severe weather is not expected at this time.
TOMORROW NIGHT
A few isolated showers or thunderstorms may linger during the evening before gradually ending. Skies become partly cloudy overnight with lows falling into the upper 50s to lower 60s as somewhat cooler and drier air works into central Indiana. Northeast winds remain around 5 mph.
MONDAY
Monday brings a brief break from the warmer weather. Expect a mixture of sunshine and clouds with highs only reaching the middle to upper 70s. Humidity drops and east to northeast winds remain around 5–10 mph. Rain chances look very low, making this one of the most comfortable days of the forecast.
MONDAY NIGHT
Partly cloudy and mild with lows in the lower 60s. Winds stay light from the southeast around 5 mph as warmer air begins returning.
TUESDAY
Heat and humidity build quickly again. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs reaching the lower 90s. South to southwest winds run around 5–10 mph. Increasing humidity could push afternoon heat index values into the upper 90s to around 100 degrees. An isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm is possible, but most locations should remain dry.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Partly cloudy, warm and humid with lows in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase somewhat overnight as the next disturbance approaches.
WEDNESDAY
Hot and humid conditions continue with highs reaching the lower to middle 90s. Expect a mixture of sunshine and clouds with scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming possible, especially later in the day. Southwest winds remain around 5–10 mph. Heat index values could again approach 100 degrees during the afternoon before any storms develop.
7 DAY OUTLOOK
Sunday stays warm and humid with a few scattered afternoon or evening storms before a weak front brings a brief shot of cooler and less humid air Monday. Highs fall into the middle to upper 70s Monday with mainly dry conditions. The cooler weather does not last long. Temperatures surge back into the lower 90s Tuesday and lower to middle 90s Wednesday as humidity increases. Afternoon heat index values could reach the upper 90s to around 100 degrees both days.
Rain chances also begin increasing Tuesday night before becoming more noticeable Wednesday into Thursday. Exactly when the most widespread storms arrive remains uncertain, but the middle of the week currently looks like the wettest portion of the forecast. Temperatures should ease again behind the next system, with highs falling into the lower to middle 80s Thursday and upper 70s to around 80 Friday. Next weekend currently looks cooler and quieter overall, although confidence decreases considerably by that point.
