A surface low will be moving directly over the Indianapolis area on Friday that will bring showers and thunderstorms to the area throughout the day, with much of the activity occurring during the afternoon to early evening hours. Chances will be likely through the morning, but more scattered in nature. While it will not be a complete washout, some showers may be heavy at times. Rainfall amounts up to 1 inch are possible. Skies will be mainly cloudy when it's not raining. Temperatures will start off in the mid 60s around 7 am and warm into the lower 70s for the daytime high. Winds will be out of the southeast to southwest at 5-10 mph. Chance of rain is 60% during the morning and increasing to 90% by midday. Rain chances will stay elevated throughout the remainder of the day.
Saturday will be a much brighter, drier, and cooler day at the Brickyard as the system has moved well off to the east of the state. However, it will be breezy at times with winds averaging 5-15 mph out of the northwest with gusts potentially reaching as high as 25 mph. Skies will be mostly sunny, with temperatures starting off in the upper 40s around 7 am and climbing into the upper 50s for the daytime high.
While Sunday will start off rather cool, those temperatures will climb nicely underneath near-maximum sunshine.
