Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
310 AM EDT Tue Sep 1 2026


.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will continue to provide dry but hot weather today
through much of the week. Well above normal rainfall this month
should deter any fire weather concerns in the near future. SW
central Indiana could see minRH values as low as 35% this week,
but 45-55% is expected elsewhere across the area.
