Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
346 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Southwesterly winds today will gust up to 30-40 mph through midday
and afternoon hours ahead of an approaching front, although
increasing dewpoints will keep daily minimum relative humidity
values to 50 percent and above.

Several rounds of rain/thunderstorms tonight through at least
Sunday night will mitigate any fire weather concerns into next
week.  A general lack of stronger winds is expected...although
westerly breezes Monday afternoon may gust as high as 25-35 mph.
