- Slight downward trend in temperatures Tuesday-Thursday to only
  slightly above normal

.SHORT TERM (This evening through Sunday)...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Sep 27 2025
Mid to upper-level ridging is building in from the west as troughing
over the Appalachians slides eastward. At the surface, high pressure
dominates and will continue to do so through the duration of the
forecast period.
In terms of weather, we can expect generally clear skies, light
winds, and above-average temperatures. Highs in the mid to upper 80s
are likely through the remainder of the weekend and into the coming
week. Lows dip into the 50s for the most part with ideal radiative
cooling conditions. Cooler temps in rural areas are anticipated with
low to mid 50s. Lows in the upper 50s to near 60 are more likely in
metro areas.
Patchy fog is possible during the overnight hours but duration and
coverage will be lower than previous nights. As moisture from recent
rainfall gradually dries up, fog should become more confined to near
rivers and in agricultural areas / farm fields.

.LONG TERM (Sunday night through Saturday)...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Sep 27 2025
The long term period will continue the streak of above normal
temperatures and persistent dry weather. Synoptically, troughing
will be set up across the west with low pressure from a tropical
system tracks along the Florida coast. Over central Indiana, stalled
high pressure will persist between the systems mentioned before. As
the week goes on, the tropical system will exit to the east while
ridging expands and stretches form the desert SW up to parts of New
England, continuing central Indiana under high pressure. High
pressure at the surface will only further the subsidence over the
area. Thus, the warm and dry pattern persists. High temperatures
will start off in the 80s and cool slightly by midweek to the upper
70s and low 80s with overnight lows in the 50s. At this time, there
is no to very little chance of precipitation through the long term.
Looking into the extended, ridging is expected to persist while CPC
is also indicating continued warmer and drier than normal
conditions.
While fire weather conditions are unlikely, especially following
moderate to heavy rainfall earlier this week, daily minimum relative
humidity values will drop to near 30 percent amid the unseasonable
warmth Monday, and again Thursday-Friday, albeit never with higher
gusts.

.AVIATION (00Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 652 PM EDT Sat Sep 27 2025
Impacts:
- Patchy fog possible at HUF and LAF with MVFR to potentially IFR
vsbys
Discussion:
VFR conditions expected throughout the TAF period with the exception
of brief fog overnight. Coverage of fog will be minimal, but
confidence is high enough for an MVFR mention at LAF and HUF, but
will have to monitor BMG as well Fog may temporarily reduce
conditions to MVFR with a lower chance for brief IFR conditions.
Winds will remain light and variable through the period with mostly
clear skies outside of some passing cirrus and diurnally driven cu
at around 050.
