Indianapolis, IN — Residents are urged to continue observing burn bans as Indianapolis faces another week of sunny, dry conditions. Highs will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s, posing fire risks across many counties. Tuesday evening’s temperatures are expected to reach up to 89°F, with a cooler low of around 60°F overnight.

According to the US National Weather Service in Indianapolis, these dry conditions will persist through Friday, with no rain expected. A partial lunar eclipse will be visible tonight, beginning at 8:41 p.m. and peaking early Wednesday morning. The event will coincide with a rare harvest supermoon, offering clear viewing opportunities due to the clear skies forecasted.
