Special Weather Statement issued October 5 at 3:00AM EDT by NWS Northern Indiana
Effective: Sun October 5, 2025, 3:00 AM
Expires: Sun October 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
The combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, low relative humidity, dry vegetation, and gusty south-southwesterly winds will lead to a heightened threat of fire ignition and spread today, particularly in fields with harvest activities ongoing. Take care to prevent the start of accidental fires when handling cigarettes or operating vehicles and farm equipment around dry vegetation or crops. Any fires that ignite may become difficult to control. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged today. Please heed any local burn bans. Have a water source readily available and ensure any fires are fully extinguished.
