The longest dry spell in Indianapolis in seven years ended yesterday. We had gone 17 days with no measurable precipitation. The streak stopped at 16 days for both Muncie and Lafayette. So: some rain Wednesday…but not enough to ease some very dry conditions overall.
A combination of occasional wind gusts to 35 mph and abnormally dry air will create conditions favorable for fires to quickly get out of control today. Afternoon relative humidity could sink to 25 percent! Not the day to be burning leaves. Be responsible with any flammable items and be prepared for isolated power outages during periods of stronger winds. A “Red Flag Warning” is in place.
