High pressure and a dry atmosphere will lead to sunny skies and well above normal temperatures today with afternoon highs from 63 to 70 degrees, some 15 degrees above normal.
INDIANA BURN BANS
Temperatures this afternoon will be around 15 degrees above normal. That combined with very low relative humidity, dry fuels and gusty winds will result in enhanced fire danger.
Avoid burning, particularly if in a county under a burn ban.
