INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Strong high pressure continues to dominate the Ohio Valley through Saturday. This means zero rain for Indianapolis through the weekend.
But the ridge weakens late Saturday, opening the door for tropical moisture to surge northward. By Sunday morning, we could be dealing with a completely different weather pattern.
Sunny and pleasant with highs in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph.
Clear skies with lows in the mid to upper 40s for Indianapolis. Not quite as chilly as the past couple of mornings.
The dry pattern holds strong. Expect mostly sunny skies each day with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Morning lows in the mid to upper 40s.
This is textbook October weather for Central Indiana—cool mornings, mild afternoons
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE:Today through Friday will feature poor conditions for any outdoor burning. Low humidity, light winds, and very dry ground could easily help in spreading fires under these conditions.
While we don’t have any burn bans in place, it would be wise to avoid open burning through at least this weekend.
