Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Southern Great Lakes
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
450 AM EDT Thu Jul 31 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Rain exits this morning from west to east. Most areas received
radar-estiamted rainfall of at least one-quarter inch yesterday, with
locally higher amounts. This will limit the near term fire weather
concern. A stretch of dry weather is favored this afternoon through
the weekend. Some guidance suggests this dry stretch could linger
into Wednesday.
