Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
232 PM EDT Mon Sep 15 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather is expected for much of the work week. There will
likely be an elevated fire weather threat most afternoons this
week as daily min RH values fall into the 25 to 35% range with
highs from the mid 80s to the lower 90s. The one factor keeping
the fire weather threat lower is the lack of wind. Despite deep
mixing, very weak low level flow should keep winds under 10 kts
through the period.
