Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
318 AM EDT Thu Oct 29 2026

.DISCUSSION...

High pressure east of Indiana will exit today as a cold front
pushes across our state late this afternoon and evening. The front
will mainly produce clouds and a wind shift to the north, however
an isolated rain shower, particularly across northern Central
Indiana cannot be ruled out.

An occasional wind gusts to around 20 mph will be possible this
afternoon.

The next best chance for rain will be Saturday night into Sunday.
A mild and wetter pattern is expected for portions of next week.
