Line of Strong Storms Tonight Followed by Snow on Monday A wind advisory is active across central Indiana from 11 a.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday, with gusts reaching 40 to 50 mph expected. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is anticipated to move through the region early Tuesday night. Today’s weather will feature mostly cloudy skies, with high temperatures climbing into the lower 70s. Gusty winds will persist during the day, though the period will remain dry before the storm system arrives. Tonight, a squall line will traverse central Indiana from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Monday. The National Weather Service has issued an enhanced risk of severe storms for areas along and south of Interstate 70. Damaging winds are the primary threat, with the possibility of embedded spin-up tornadoes within the storm line. Temperatures will drop rapidly behind the storm, with overnight lows expected in the upper 20s. Tomorrow, a lull in precipitation will occur in the early morning, followed by scattered snow showers or snow squalls. On-and-off snow is anticipated throughout the day, with snowfall amounts ranging from a light dusting to 1 inch, and isolated areas potentially receiving up to 2 inches. High temperatures will technically occur at midnight, but daytime peak temperatures will remain in the low to mid-30s. The 7-day forecast indicates another clipper system could bring a rain/snow mix to the start of Wednesday. Temperatures will gradually warm as the week progresses, with a string of days reaching 60 degrees by the end of the week and the start of the following weekend.#national_weather_service #wind_advisory #central_indiana #interstate_70 #squall_line
Storm Threat Looms Sunday Night as Temperature Plummets A severe weather alert remains active due to the potential for damaging storms Sunday night through Monday morning. The unpredictable weather pattern continues as a spring system triggers gusty winds, temperatures in the 70s, and storm activity before a sharp drop in temperatures and snow returns on Monday. The 7-day forecast shows temperatures fluctuating dramatically, starting in the 70s, plummeting to the 20s, and then rising again to the 70s. Some storms on Sunday evening could produce severe conditions, including damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Tonight is expected to be relatively calm, with temperatures near 40 degrees and partly cloudy skies. Sunday will bring significant weather changes. Strong south winds will kick in by mid-morning, reaching gusts of 50 mph across central Indiana. A wind advisory is in effect through 8 a.m. Monday for gusts up to 55 mph. These winds will push temperatures into the 60s and low 70s by afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Scattered showers may develop from the west by late afternoon, but the best chance for rain comes from a strong line of storms linked to a cold front. This storm system is expected to move into Indiana around 7 p.m., sweeping across the state and bringing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The line will cover central Indiana from 7 to 11 p.m., moving west to east. The highest risk involves even stronger gusts within the storm line, with tornadoes possible along the path. Behind the front, temperatures will drop rapidly. By Monday morning, temperatures are likely to be in the 20s, with scattered snow showers possible before sunrise. Snow showers will continue through mid-morning, though little to no accumulation is expected.#cold_front #wind_advisory #central_indiana #13_wthr_app #spring_system
Near-record temperatures and flooding risks continue in Indiana Heavy rain is expected to persist through the week as temperatures rise to near-record levels, according to a forecast from WISH News. A flood watch remains active for the southern two-thirds of central Indiana until 10 a.m. Wednesday, with additional flood advisories issued for counties south of Indianapolis. Over 3 inches of rain fell in parts of the southern metro area, causing localized flooding. A stalled frontal system over the state is drawing moisture from the Gulf, leading to waves of widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms. Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is possible today, with rain chances briefly decreasing by late morning into the early afternoon. High temperatures are projected to reach the mid to upper 50s, with the southern portion of the state possibly seeing low 60s. Severe weather is expected tonight as another round of showers and thunderstorms develops in the late evening and overnight. A few storms could be strong to severe, with large hail as the primary concern. The southern third of Indiana is under a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe storms. Thursday will bring widespread showers and a few thunderstorms, with high temperatures climbing into the mid 60s. Friday’s forecast highlights near-record heat, with temperatures surging into the mid 70s—20 to 30 degrees above average. The record high for this date, 75°, set in 1973, is now in jeopardy. While rain chances will remain, they are expected to become more isolated. Additional rainfall of 3 to 5 inches could fall through the end of the week into early next week, exacerbating flooding risks along rivers and streams. Areas prone to flooding will need to remain vigilant over the next several days.#indianapolis #indiana #central_indiana #southern_indiana #wish_news
Central Indiana Faces Severe Weather with Heavy Rain and Dense Fog Central Indiana is grappling with significant flooding and dense fog following a major rainfall event that delivered nearly 3.5 inches of rain to Indianapolis in a single day. This amount exceeds the total snowmelt recorded during January and February combined, marking an unusual occurrence for early March. The widespread precipitation, ranging from 2 to 4 inches across a broad area south of the I-70 corridor, has led to persistent flooding, with roads, creeks, and low-lying regions still holding standing water. The heavy rain has also triggered dense fog that has reduced visibility to near zero in some areas, creating hazardous driving conditions. Authorities are urging drivers to use low-beam headlights and maintain greater distances between vehicles. The severe weather is expected to intensify through the afternoon, particularly in central and southern Indiana, with a Level 1 out of 5 severe risk in place. Possible threats include pea- to nickel-sized hail, wind gusts exceeding 60 mph, and isolated rotating storms near the southern and southwestern parts of the state as a warm front approaches. While the overall severe threat remains low, stronger storms could briefly escalate to severe conditions. Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are anticipated, with a second wave expected after midnight into Thursday’s morning commute. Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is forecast for central and southern Indiana, though rain coverage will gradually decrease by Thursday afternoon. However, fog may linger into Friday morning, complicating travel. A dramatic shift to warmer temperatures is predicted for Friday, with Indianapolis expecting highs of 75° to near 80°—nearly 30° above the average for this date.#indianapolis #central_indiana #i_70_corridor #central_and_southern_indiana #indianapolis_weather_service
