Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
414 AM EDT Thu Sep 3 2026


.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will continue to provide dry but hot weather today
through much of tomorrow. Well above normal rainfall this month
should deter any fire weather concerns in the near future. Far SW
central Indiana could see minRH values as low as 35% the next few
days, but 45-60% is expected elsewhere across the area with rain
chances increasing into the weekend.
