**Indianapolis Faces Weekend of Showers and Thunderstorms**
**INDIANAPOLIS (WISH)** – Central Indiana residents should prepare for a wet weekend as numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast to sweep across the region. The rain began this morning, moving in from the west and intensifying into scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the late morning and afternoon.
While severe weather is not expected, forecasters are warning of heavy downpours and frequent lightning. Rainfall amounts could reach between one to two inches or more in many areas by this afternoon. High temperatures will reach the lower 80s today.
The wet weather pattern will continue through the evening and overnight, with temperatures dropping into the upper 60s and lower 70s. Saturday will see more periodic showers and thunderstorms, again with the potential for heavy rain. While there will be dry periods, the rain chances persist throughout the day and night, with localized rainfall amounts of one to two inches possible. Highs on Saturday will be around 80 degrees.
Father’s Day will bring some relief, with rain chances becoming more isolated, especially in the afternoon. The southeastern portion of the state is most likely to experience showers or thunderstorms. Residents with outdoor plans should monitor the radar for brief periods of rain. High temperatures will reach the mid-80s.
The unsettled weather isn’t expected to end with the weekend. The lingering frontal boundary will keep rain chances in the forecast for at least the first half of the workweek.

The threat of severe weather remains low, but the potential for heavy rainfall continues.
