KEY MESSAGES

- Dry and quiet weather persists this week

DISCUSSION (This evening through Monday)

Issued at 317 PM EDT Mon Oct 19 2026

Pleasant, sunny fall weather will persist throughout the forecast period as upper level ridging and broad surface high pressure dominates the weather pattern.

Each day through at least the work week will largely be the same with mostly clear skies, light variable winds, and pretty consistent temperatures. Highs will range from the upper 60s to low 70s while overnight lows will be in the low to mid 40s. By the weekend, overnight lows could warm ever so slightly, into the upper 40s, as southern flow strengthens due to ridging to the west becoming more amplified. Going into the weekend will likely also see a slight increase in dew points as well as upper level moisture which could produce scattered clouds.

Given the dry weather, there is some fire weather concern through the next week. Winds will luckily stay low and RH values are expected to stay above critical threshold, but do take precautions with open fire.

Looking into the long range, the next shot of precipitation does not look possible until next week with the chance of a frontal system moving through.

AVIATION (00Z TAF Issuance)

Issued at 642 PM EDT Mon Oct 19 2026

Impacts:

- None expected

Discussion:

VFR conditions are expected through the period, as high pressure continues to provide dry conditions and light winds. Some high clouds will move through at times.

Similar to what happened at KHUF this morning, cannot rule out brief restrictions in fog near sunrise at all but KIND. However, odds are too low to put in the TAFs.

IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES

None.
