Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana...UPDATED
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
240 PM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Mixing process has resulted in dry conditions this afternoon,
with RH values in the low-mid 20 percent range at some sites.
RH will recover to 75+ percent tonight.

Dry fuels per RAWS observations due to drought are a concern for
increased initial attack-type fire activity. However, more
significant fire spread potential will be mitigated by light
winds. Additionally, moisture advection on Friday should preclude
significant RH drops relative to previous days.
