Balmier air to finish the week
INDIANAPOLIS — Patience rewarded this afternoon with increasing sunshine after a cloudy, chillier start to the day. Highs recover into the 40s to finish today, which will be noticeably cooler compared to the 50s from Monday.
But the 50s return again Wednesday as southeasterly to southerly wind deliver balmier air in advance of an approaching weather system. It's actually the same energy that's delivered record-breaking rainfall around Los Angeles and, unfortunately, destructive flooding/mudslides too.

For us locally, it will be a weaker system but still produce breezy conditions Thursday into Friday along with unseasonably mild air of highs near/above 60°. While rain won't be heavy, expect an increase in showers Thursday afternoon and early Friday.

There's the possibility of some sunshine emerging post-rain showers on Friday, and it's why we've opted to bump forecast highs into the mid-60s Friday afternoon. Either way, temperatures over 20° above average are expected before the passage of the next cold front over the weekend.
