Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
310 AM EDT Wed Sep 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Strong diurnal mixing and a dry airmass over the region suggest
MinRH values will fall to around 20-30% this afternoon with fuel
moisture dropping below 8%. This is mainly for west/northwest
portions of central Indiana as subtle moisture advection may limit
MinRH values further south and east. However, winds are only
expected to peak around 5 to 8 knots. So while there is a concern
for fires to pop up given the dry conditions, wildfire spread is
not a huge concern due to light winds.

Some municipalities in central Indiana have activated a burn ban.
Please exercise caution if burning today.
