Most of Thursday is dry. It will be hot and humid, with highs soaring into the upper 80s. Heat indices could slide into the low 90s. This is the warmest air we've seen of 2025, so make sure you are prepared for the heat, especially if you will be heading to racing practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Remember to take breaks from the heat if you are outdoors and stay up on your hydration.

Thursday evening, there is a chance for some thunderstorms to develop. If storms form, they could be strong or severe. Damaging wind gusts and hail are the primary threat, but we cannot rule out an isolated tornado. These storms would likely develop quickly, so keep a close eye on the forecast if you have outdoor plans Thursday evening.
