.DISCUSSION (This evening through Sunday)...
Issued at 231 PM EDT Sun Jun 28 2026

Skies remained partly to mostly cloudy across central Indiana this
afternoon, and this will remain the case for the rest of the day.
While broken cumulus will eventually scatter out late in the
afternoon into early evening, high clouds will increase from dying
thunderstorms to the northwest.

Will have to keep an eye out for the remnants of the upstream storms
early this evening. They should weaken/dissipate as they approach
the area, but it may take longer than the CAMs suggest per recent
trends. Will keep the forecast area dry but continue to monitor.

Otherwise, a warm front with the hot airmass behind it will move
across the area tonight. Forcing isn`t great so am expecting mainly
some clouds. However, can`t rule out an isolated shower. Odds will
remain below mentionable thresholds. With the moist atmosphere in
place, some patchy fog may form again overnight. Lows will be in the
lower to middle 70s.

On Monday morning, the warm front will be near or just east of the
forecast area. A rogue shower will still be possible east, but again
odds are too low to mention. The front will then exit to the east as
the upper ridge builds across the area. The ridge should be strong
enough to keep any storms riding around it east of the area Monday
afternoon.

This ridge will persist across the area at least through Wednesday.
The airmass will be a hot and humid one, with highs in the lower to
perhaps middle 90s and dewpoints in the lower to middle 70s. This
will produce afternoon heat indices of 100 to 105 for most areas
with locally higher values. Given this, the Heat Advisory looks good
and will make no changes at this time.

The ridge will may start to break down as early as Thursday, and by
next weekend some guidance is showing an upper trough moving in.
These will result in a return of chances of showers and
thunderstorms.

Blended guidance is keeping highs in the 90s into next weekend, but
that may be too warm given more clouds and increasing chances for
rain with the upper trough.

.AVIATION (00Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 713 PM EDT Sun Jun 28 2026

Impacts:

- Patchy MVFR fog possible overnight, periods IFR possible BMG

- Winds less than 10KT overnight, becoming from 200 degrees at 7-
  11KT Monday

Discussion:

Clearing trend continues across the area, and all sites are now VFR,
though some convective debris cloudiness will impact the sites this
evening into the overnight. This complicates the visibility
forecast, as plentiful low level moisture remains in a background
setting of relatively light winds.

Believe LAMP guidance is underforecasting fog potential, and NBM
probabilities tend to hint at somewhat more possibility for
visibility restrictions near daybreak (09-13Z). Will keep fog out of
IND w/ winds a bit stronger and urban heat island effects, but
outlying sites will carry at least TEMPO MVFR. At BMG, which is both
climatologically vulnerable and in one of the wetter regions of the
area in recent days, will go prevailing MVFR with tempo IFR.

Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail once any fog dissipates in
typical diurnal fashion. Winds, which may be calm to light and
variable at times overnight, will become south/southwesterly during
the day on Monday at 7-11KT. A spotty gust slightly higher is not
impossible but should be minimal enough to forgo mention as high
pressure builds in.
