indiana is starting the day with soggy conditions as another round of showers and storms moves through the state on Apr. 29, 2026. Central Indiana is seeing rain this morning, while heavier rain is focused farther south. A cooler, more fall-like pattern is expected to settle in for the rest of the week.
Rain Moves Through Indiana This Morning
A weak system moving through to the south is bringing numerous showers and a few thunderstorms across Indiana. The heaviest rain is centered across southern Indiana south of I-70, while lighter showers extend into central and northern parts of the state.
Minor flooding is a concern, especially across the southern third of the state, where some areas have already received 3 to 5 inches of rain. Severe weather is not expected this morning, but a few heavy downpours could cause ponding on roads.
Rain is expected to taper off from west to east by early afternoon. Behind the rain, conditions will turn cool under partly to mostly cloudy skies, with a few spotty sprinkles still possible. Wind gusts will pick up at times, reaching 20 to 25 mph.
Indiana Turns Cooler and Breezier Later Today
After the morning rain, Indiana will move into a noticeably cooler and breezier afternoon. High pressure builds in for Thursday and much of Friday, bringing a break from significant rain and mostly quiet weather for much of the region.
Thursday is expected to bring mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with highs around 60 degrees. Friday stays mostly quiet for most areas, although there is a small chance of a spotty shower. Highs then are only expected to reach the upper 50s.
This is the first clear sign of a much cooler air mass settling in for the weekend. Overnight lows are forecast to dip into the mid and upper 30s, which could allow patchy frost both Saturday and Sunday mornings in rural and outlying spots, especially where light breeze offers less protection.
What To Watch Through The End Of The Week
The colder pattern does not stop with the weekend. Temperatures are expected to slowly rebound early next week, returning closer to seasonal averages. Highs should reach the mid 60s on Sunday and near 70 on Monday and Tuesday.
Rain chances return Monday into Tuesday, and thunderstorms are possible again. For now, the immediate focus remains on the rain moving through Indiana this morning, the minor flooding threat in the south, and the cooler, breezier air waiting behind it.
Residents across Indiana should plan for a wet start, then a sharp change in feel by afternoon as the front exits and the weather turns quieter, cooler, and windier.
