Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Southern Great Lakes
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
325 AM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Deep mixing and warm temperatures will yield afternoon RH values of
25-30 percent. These dry conditions in addition to wind gusts of
20-25 mph from the south/southwest will lead to an elevated danger of
fire ignition and spread today. Moisture increases on Monday with
rain expected Monday night into Tuesday as a cold front crosses the
region. Much cooler conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday.
