825 FXUS63 KIWX 061015 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 615 AM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Remainder of the holiday weekend will be dry and pleasant. - Temperatures and humidity will increase somewhat Tuesday into Wednesday, but not as hot as last week - 20% to 40% chance of showers and storms Wednesday into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 305 AM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Canadian high pressure has temporarily displaced a towering 500-mb ridge to our west for the remainder of the Labor Day weekend. Our coolest day of the week appears to be today with high temperatures generally in the upper-70s; perhaps 80 degrees toward Lafayette. High pressure promotes dry conditions through at least Wednesday morning but we will see a subtle warming trend beyond today as return southerly flow, and the resumption of upper-level ridging, eventually nudges temperatures back toward 90 degrees. Wednesday, those south of the US 24 corridor have a 25-30% chance of seeing a 90-degree temperature per global ensembles. To our north midweek, low pressure is wrapping up over western Ontario with an occluded/cold front dropping south into the Midwest. Moisture return into this front is lackluster and the front stalls atop the now-depressed upper-level ridge. This results in fairly modest rain chances at 20-40% Wednesday through Thursday morning. Beyond this, there is growing concensus that a zonal but progressive upper-air pattern takes shape presenting passing chances for rain and storms while pushing temperatures near to slightly above normal (normals of 77/54 by late next week). && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/... Issued at 615 AM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Light northeast wind today with fair weather cumulus this afternoon beneath high pressure. For now, wind near 5KTS may be enough to fend off any radiation fog early Monday morning. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None. OH...None. MI...None.
