Northern Indiana will experience unseasonably warm, dry weather this week as drought conditions continue to worsen. Highs will remain in the 80s, and the region faces increased fire risks due to low humidity and ongoing drought expansion. Brush and field fires are a growing concern, and residents are urged to avoid open burning and monitor local fire advisories.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) Northern Indiana, no rain is expected over the next seven days. The ongoing drought could intensify, impacting both agriculture and daily life. A slight chance of rain exists for northwest Ohio on Wednesday, but Northern Indiana will stay dry.
As the drought worsens, the NWS advises residents to conserve water and prepare for potential air quality alerts. In addition to the dry conditions, Tuesday night will bring a rare Harvest Supermoon and a partial lunar eclipse. The eclipse will peak at 10:44 p.m. and will be visible across the region, weather permitting. However, the NWS forecasts clear skies, perfect for viewing the astronomical event.
