Indianapolis braces for record heat; advisory through Thursday
INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) — Tuesday was the hottest day of 2026 so far in Indianapolis, but we are not done yet. A heat advisory remains in place until Thursday night.
TONIGHT: Clear skies remain in place for the overnight hours. A record-warm low temperature is possibly on the table in Indianapolis. Low temperatures in the mid-70s.
TOMORROW: Mostly sunny, hot, and humid. High temperatures in the mid-90s with peak heat index values in the triple digits.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Isolated showers or storms cannot be ruled out late in the day. A marginal (1/5) risk of severe storms is in place across most of central Indiana. High temperatures in the mid-90s with peak heat index values in the triple digits.
7-DAY FORECAST: Isolated chances of showers and storms remain for Friday and Saturday, but neither looks to be an all-day washout by any means. Temperatures fall back into the mid to upper 80s late weekend into early next week.
