INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Central Indiana couldn’t quite break free from the cloud cover Thursday, which caused some locations to not get out of the 40s.

The sun will be nowhere to be found heading into the weekend during a period of soaking rain and breezy winds.

Thursday night: Cloud cover will not break apart as the next weather system approaches. Showers will begin to enter Indiana during the overnight hours of early Friday morning.

The lack of clearing Thursday night will lead way to temperatures only falling into the upper 40s.

Friday: Have the rain gear on hand as there will be on-and-off, widespread showers. There is potential for a few nonsevere thunderstorms Friday afternoon and night.

The best chance for more persistent heavier rain rates will come Friday night into early Saturday morning. Localized flooding could be a concern if heavy rain happens in areas that already saw a bit of rain on Tuesday.

Even though it will be a rainy Friday, highs will still manage to push close or just over 60 degrees thanks to a breezy southerly wind.

Saturday: Conditions will turn even more unpleasant on the backside of the weather system. We’re talking about breezy and chilly weather with falling temperatures and lingering showers and drizzle for much of the day. A few snow showers could fall mainly north of Indianapolis by Saturday night.

By the end of Saturday, rainfall totals could be up from a half-inch to 1.5 inches across much of the state, with the potential for locally higher amounts of 2 inches or more.

Highs will happen very early Saturday, with numbers in the 50s before gradually falling into the 30s by Saturday night.

8-Day Forecast: Central Indiana looks to open up a lot more sunshine by Sunday, but with a stiff northwesterly breeze and gusts of more than 25 mph. Temperatures will struggle to get into the mid-to upper 40s. Then, expect a warmup through the first half of next week with a return to the 60s on Tuesday. Rain chances may return Wednesday.
