INDIANAPOLIS — After last week’s severe storms and tornadoes, this weekend should be fairly pleasant and mild.

Meteorologist Aaron Updike with the National Weather Service Indianapolis says the weekend and coming week will be quite dry. And, next week may provide more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, as temperatures will hit the 70s, and possibly even 80 degrees.

Updike notes that Saturday could be a bit breezy, but otherwise, the weather will stand in stark contrast to that of last Friday and Saturday.

23 tornadoes have been confirmed around the state for March 31st so far. Governor Eric Holcomb Tweeted Thursday that he is asking the President for “expedited assistance for Hoosiers” affected by the tornadoes.

With the nicer weather, you and your family members might enjoy a few of the Easter events happening around the state. Continue reading for more.
