811 FXUS63 KIWX 080739 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 339 AM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - An area of dense fog over northeast Indiana to lift early this morning. - Very warm and humid into early next week with highs in the 80s each day. - Heat indices will be around 90 to 95 Friday and Saturday afternoons. - Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms starting Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 128 AM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025 An area of dense fog had developed over the northeast corner of Indiana early this morning north of Auburn in the vicinity of Angola where skies had cleared and winds had become calm. The fog should be relatively shallow and mix out by 9 AM EDT. There will be a steady stream of pacific energy topping the upstream subtropical ridge and reaching the forecast area into early next week. This energy in the form of upper level disturbances (vort maxes) and upper level trofs will continue to enhance the chance for thunderstorms. The strongest upper level trof will reach the area Friday. This system will bring the greatest chance for rain through early next week; however, rainfall amounts at this time are only be expected to be up to a quarter of an inch. Otherwise, the very warm and humid conditions will persist for the next 7 days with highs in the 80s. Heat indices will be highest Friday and Saturday afternoons with values from around 90 to 95. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 117 AM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025 Still fairly moist low levels with dew point depressions from 3 to 6 degrees currently, the lower being at KFWA which seems to have the better chance of vsbys lowering to IFR however still could see MVFR/IFR vsbys for KSBN even though a tad drier at that site but could see the better cooling overnight there to help develop mist. Otherwise, VFR conditions through the remainder of the TAF period with light variable to southwesterly winds. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None. OH...None. MI...None.
