INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Central Indiana continues to enjoy unseasonably warm, dry weather through the rest of the work week. The big question: Will rain affect your Halloween weekend plans? Here’s what you need to know.
Sunshine dominates across Central Indiana with afternoon highs reaching the mid to upper 70s. A strong area of high pressure over New England keeps conditions dry and pleasant. Expect temperatures about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for late October.
Clear skies continue with comfortable overnight lows dropping into the low to mid 50s. Light winds from the south keep temperatures comfortably cool.
The warmest day of the week. Southwesterly winds push temperatures into the upper 70s to about 80 degrees across the area.
Temperatures back off slightly as the stalled front sits across Central Indiana. Highs will reach the mid- to upper 70s under partly cloudy skies.
Here’s where things get tricky for your weekend plans.
Saturday (Halloween): Clouds increase throughout the day as moisture moves in from the southwest. Highs in the mid- to upper 60s. A few isolated showers possible late in the day, especially south of Indianapolis, but most areas stay dry through the afternoon and evening hours.
Sunday: Periods of rain likely throughout the day as a low-pressure system over the southern plains sends waves of moisture our way. Highs only in the mid 60s with cloudy skies.
Monday: Scattered showers remain possible, though rain chances decrease slightly compared to Sunday. Temperatures stay in the mid- to upper 60s with mostly cloudy conditions.
Tuesday : Rain chances increase again as a deeper low-pressure system tracks through the region with a warm front lifting across Central Illinois and Indiana. Expect periods of rain that could impact trick-or-treating plans. Temperatures in the mid 60s.
