Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Southern Great Lakes
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
347 AM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A combination of northwest wind gusts to 20 to 30 mph and minimum
relative humidity values of 20 to 40 percent will create an
elevated fire danger today. The lowest humidity values (around
20-25 percent) will be along and south of US 30, west of I 69-
especially near White County, IN.

Furthermore, given the extreme drought in northwest Ohio and
portions of Indiana, fine fuels-such as grasses and leaf litter-are
dry and susceptible to ignition. This is especially the case in areas
that did not receive as much precipitation or snowfall in the last
event.

For the remainder of the week, there are chances for rain Monday
night and Tuesday, and again on Friday. Rain could be heavy at times
Friday, bringing beneficial rain to drought areas.
