Indianapolis, IN – Temperatures in Indianapolis are set to rise steadily throughout the week, with Monday’s high reaching 79°F. By Thursday, highs could approach 89°F. The dry surface air will combine with minimal humidity, creating slightly elevated fire risks.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Indianapolis, hazy skies will persist due to smoke remaining aloft, but it should not reach the surface. The smoky conditions are expected to enhance sunsets but won’t cause significant air quality issues today.

By midweek, the fire risk will increase as temperatures continue to climb, hitting 84°F on Tuesday and peaking at 89°F by Thursday. NWS warns that these conditions, along with ongoing drought, could create elevated fire weather risks.

Residents should take precautions, especially with outdoor fires, and stay informed about any potential fire advisories.
