INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a cold, frosty, start to Monday, central Indiana warmed nicely into the afternoon hours due to a southerly breeze and sunshine.

The temperature trend will turn even more fantastic over the next couple of days, but eventually lead to the next rain chance.

Monday night: A mainly clear and chilly night will be on deck. Lows will drop into the low 40s.

Tuesday: Fabulous weather awaits, with a marvelous springlike day and plenty of sunshine. Winds will stay breezy out of the south as well with gusts approaching 20-25 mph. Overall, this will be Storm Track 8’s pick of the week, with highs pushing into the upper 60s.

Cloud cover will increase Tuesday night ahead of a quick disturbance that will slide in going into Wednesday morning.

Wednesday: The aforementioned disturbance could bring the chance for a few showers in the morning and lead to more in the way of cloud cover for the entire day, but there will still be some sunshine. Temperatures will also not be impacted, rising to near 70 for the high.

8-Day Forecast: Better chances for rain and a few storms will arrive for the back half of the workweek. Thursday, Thursday night, and Friday will have the potential for scattered showers and storms. The system will cause another cooldown, with highs falling back into the 50s by the weekend. A few showers will remain possible on the weekend as well, but those chances are low.
