Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
242 PM EDT Sat Sep 26 2026

.DISCUSSION...

Quiet weather and a warming trend is expected through Monday.

Min RH values will drop to between 30 to 40 percent across portions
of central Indiana through the weekend which combined with the
drier conditions, may lead to a low-end fire danger. Light winds
will help to limit that threat.
