Not to rain on the parade, literally, but the latest weather forecast for Central Indiana could put a damper on Indy's annual Pride Parade and the Word of Mouth concert series.
There's a strong chance for showers and thunderstorms Saturday into Sunday around Indianapolis, according to the National Weather Service, meaning LGBTQ+ Hoosiers might want to bring an umbrella if they go out this weekend to Pride.
Here's what we know.
Saturday, June 14, 2025, is the date of this year's Indy Pride parade, which runs from 10 a.m. to noon.
The Word of Mouth concert takes place afterwards at the American Legion Mall, 700 N. Pennsylvania St, from 2 to 10 p.m. both on Saturday, June 14, and Sunday, June 15.

Saturday's weather forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms, according to NWS. The high is expected to be around 84.
On Saturday night, there's a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 8 p.m. with a low of 68.
Parade and concert attendees Saturday should take an umbrella and bring a poncho just in case, according to Cody Moore, a local meteorologist with NWS in Indianapolis.
"It does look like we have rain moving in for much of the day," Moore said. "Scattered showers, or numerous showers and thunderstorms," adding Indianapolis has a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms during the daytime with a chance for dry spells later in the evening.
Moore said the exact timing of rain showers in the Indianapolis metro area isn't clear as of yet. He advised Hoosiers to keep an eye on the forecast the closer it gets to the end of the week.
IndyStar reached out Tuesday to representatives with Indy Pride, responsible for organizing the annual parade and concert series, and inquired about what attendees could expect given Saturday's forecast. IndyStar is currently awaiting their response.
Moore recommended Hoosiers attending Pride have a plan in case storms become severe.
"If you see lightning or hear thunder, make sure you head indoors. Being outside is definitely not safe and poses a threat," Moore said. "I know downtown will be very busy, so make sure you know where the closest shelter is in case thunderstorms head your way."
