Clouds have increased in the overnight, as rain showers have gathered in western Indiana and Illinois. The added cloud cover has kept our temperatures milder overnight, so there is no need for a jacket out the door!
Great to see rain on the radar but unfortunately, none of this activity will make it into central Indiana. The best chances will hold from Evansville to Terre Haute and west of Lafayette. A few showers may advance a touch more to the east but are likely not to reach Indianapolis through the late afternoon. Highs will reach the lower 80s locally, slightly cooler than yesterday
