Warm Wednesday to lead way toward series of rain chances

Aug. 13 | Tuesday evening forecast with Ashley Brown

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One more day free of rain chances is ahead before we embark on our next stretch of active weather with increasing humidity.

Tuesday night: We’ll turn towards a mostly clear and cool night with lows falling into the mid 60s.

Wednesday: Anticipate a warmer day for Wednesday under mostly sunny to partly sunny skies. Humidity levels will ride along the discomfort line once again as well with a light wind out of the southeast. This southeasterly wind is going to be the difference in us warming into the mid 80s tomorrow.

Thursday: After being mainly dry for the last week, active weather is set to return starting Thursday. We are eyeing two main waves of activity with the first one being Thursday morning into early afternoon possibly.

The second round looks to evolve from the west in the evening and continue into the nighttime hours.

This second round of activity could feature strong to severe storms. At this time, there is a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) across much of Indiana, which is our lowest severe risk level. Damaging wind is the primary concern for now.

We will also have to watch out for the potential of localized flooding Thursday night into early Friday morning. There could be some training of heavier rainfall, but evolution of said potential setup is still in question.

Highs will only make it into the low 80s, but it will be more humid with dew point values approaching the mid to upper 60s.

7-Day Forecast: Rain and storm chances continue into Friday and this weekend. Friday is going to feel miserable with highs in the low to mid 80s. Some spots may feel like the 90s if more sunshine emerges during the day. Highs this weekend look to be in the low 80s, and it will feel uncomfortable with an elevated muggy meter staying in place.
