Expect Sunny Skies Today and Thursday with highs in the upper 70s to near 80°.
Small chances for showers will return on Friday afternoon, with better chances for rain and thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon and Saturday Night.
ELEVATED FIRE RISK TODAY
Dry and breezy conditions will create an elevated fire risk across portions of central Indiana this afternoon. West-southwest winds will increase during the day, peaking around 15mph, with gusts up to 25mph this afternoon. This in combination with relative humidity values around 30 percent and dry vegetation will lead to an elevated risk of fire spreading quickly. Outdoor burning should be avoided if possible, and any equipment that could generate sparks should be handled with extra care.
