Cold Tuesday; rain chances return Wednesday
It's a very cold start to our Tuesday morning. Temperatures have dropped into the mid-20s, with wind chills making it feel like the teens. Make sure to grab your winter coat before heading out the door. We'll stay well below average through the afternoon. There will be plenty of sunshine, but temperatures will remain chilly. Highs will only reach the mid 40s, and even at the warmest part of the day, wind chills will keep it feeling like the upper 30s.
Flood Warnings continue in many counties around central Indiana, south of Indianapolis, due to high flood waters from recent rain. While many rivers have crested and waters are slowly receding, it will take some time before things return to normal. Bartholomew County remains under a Flash Flood Watch until noon, with the potential for failure of the Youth Camp Dam.
Clouds will begin to build in overnight ahead of rain chances for Wednesday and Thursday. Scattered showers will develop by tomorrow afternoon and stick around through Thursday, though there will be plenty of dry breaks in between. Wednesday will be the wetter day of the two, with a few isolated, non-severe thunderstorms possible late Wednesday night. Most areas can expect a few tenths of an inch of rain, though some localized spots could see half an inch or more.
Good news for the weekend! It's looking fantastic. Expect sunshine and temperatures near or in the 60s.

Colorado wildfires: Lee Fire grows to more than 100K acres amid ‘near-critical' weather
Update: The Lee Fire has now grown to be the 5th largest wildfire in state history. Follow the latest updates here. DENVER (KDVR) — One of the fires burning now more than 100,000 acres in Rio Blanco County in northwest Colorado continues to grow during ongoing 'near-critical fire weather' conditions, though fire crews are slowly starting to contain the blaze. The Lee Fire, one of two fires in Rio Blanco County in addition to the much smaller Elk Fire, has burned 106,672 acres near the town of Meeker. The Elk Fire has held relatively steady at 14,635 acres, fire officials reported Sunday morning. Colorado Wildfire Map Both fires do have some containment, according to officials, with the Elk Fire 9% contained and the Lee Fire 6% contained. More than 1,000 personnel are working on fire response. The Lee Fire is the 6th largest fire in Colorado history, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. 'Although crews were able to make excellent progress with firefighting efforts, and there was less smoke in the air as days before, firefighters still saw extreme fire behavior today,' officials said in a Saturday night post. The extreme fire behavior was likely to continue Sunday amid low humidity, gusty winds and a lack of cloud coverage. 'The very dry fuels with the expected weather could result in extreme fire behavior in some areas of the fire,' officials said Sunday morning. Several areas of Rio Blanco County and Garfield County are under evacuation or pre-evacuation notices. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
