.DISCUSSION (Today through Saturday night)...
Issued at 306 PM EDT Sun Sep 28 2025
Synoptically, the polar jet to our north is currently dominated by
large-scale ridging while a weaker more amplified subtropical jet
remains to our south. Strong ridging within the polar jet has
allowed temperatures to climb to well-above average values, with
temperatures in the mid to upper 80s this weekend. Continued above-
average warmth is expected as we head into the new week. A slight
cool down is possible as northeasterly surface winds develop
tomorrow, but even so temps will still be above normal. The diurnal
curve should be fairly steep throughout the week with conditions
favoring strong solar insolation and ideal radiative cooling at
night.
Short-wave troughs within the subtropical jet should largely pass to
our south, which will help keep moisture from lifting northward.
Strong high pressure at the surface, with the high center over the
northeastern US, will remain the dominant surface feature. Given a
lack of moisture and a largely subsident atmosphere, a very dry
stretch of weather looks to continue through the week.
One of the short-wave troughs may provide us with some mid to high-
level cloud cover Wednesday into Thursday, but that's about it. This
week may be about as quiet as a weather forecast can be.
Additionally, our nightly patchy fog chances look to diminish as
ground moisture from recent rains continues to evaporate. Any
nightly fog should be very patchy in nature, shallow, and confined
to near rivers and in open fields prone to evapotranspiration.
Normal highs/lows in the Indy metro area this week are 73/52.
