198 FXUS63 KIND 071052 AFDIND Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 652 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Pleasant and less humid again today - Brief return of heat midweek with a chance of storms Wednesday Night into Thursday && .DISCUSSION (Today through Sunday)... Issued at 316 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Dry and near normal conditions again today as subsidence and northerly flow will continue to influence the weather across the area. Surface flow will start to shift to out of the south Tuesday as the upper high returns to the area, and bringing with it a return of above normal temperatures. Luckily lower dew points are expected with this brief return of than was seen last week, so heat indices should largely stay below to near 100. The upper ridging will start to break down midweek while troughing over Canada and the northern portion of the CONUS sag into the Great Lakes region. A surface cold front associated with the troughing will bring chances for rain and storms late Wednesday through Thursday. At this time can`t rule out isolated damaging winds with the line of storms, but confidence is low at this time. Temperatures will again drop back down to near normal behind the front. Models are showing additional waves moving through for the weekend and into early next week which could bring fluctuating temperatures and periodic chances for rain. Timing and details remain unclear at this time however. && .AVIATION (12Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 651 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Impacts: - Northeasterly gusts up to 20kts this afternoon Discussion: VFR conditions expected through the TAF period with mostly clear skies other than passing thin cirrus. Northeasterly winds will strengthen through the morning as the boundary layer begins to deepen. Peak gusts will be around 20kts with winds dropping back closer to 5-10kts towards sunset. Can`t completely rule out the chance for fog at the outlying sites early tomorrow morning, but confidence is not high enough to include at this time. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ AVIATION...KF DISCUSSION...KF
