Hot with late week storm chances. Highs across central Indiana today will range from the low to upper 90s. Stay safe in this heat by taking breaks, staying hydrated, never leaving kids in the car, and take steps to protect pets. Thunderstorm chances: scattered storms could move into central Indiana from the north as early as Thursday evening and continue into the start of the weekend. Can't rule out isolated severe storms with damaing winds and hail as the main threats.
