Indianapolis weather: 'Strong thunderstorms' possible this weekend, and then — sunlight?
Andrew ClarkSun, is that you?
Maybe. After a weekend with chances of strong storms, it looks like we'll finally get a few days of sunny skies and actual summer weather.
"Strong thunderstorms with heavy rain" are possible throughout Central Indiana late Saturday, according to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis. These storms could bring gusty winds, hail and lightning.
Periodic threats of showers and thunderstorms will continue through Monday evening, NWS said. Heat indices could also reach the low- to mid-90s on Sunday.
But then: sunlight!
