Air quality improves in central Indiana after a smoky start<\/strong><\/p>\n INDIANAPOLIS<\/strong> \u2014 This Saturday, July 5<\/strong>, central Indiana<\/strong> woke up to very unhealthy air quality<\/strong>, primarily due to trapped smoke from July 4th fireworks<\/strong>. A temperature inversion<\/strong> \u2014 a warm air layer aloft \u2014 combined with light surface winds<\/strong> helped keep smoke close to the ground overnight. However, with sunrise now behind us<\/strong>, this inversion is breaking down<\/strong>, and air quality conditions are steadily improving<\/strong> across the region.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today: A hot, mostly dry Saturday for Indiana<\/strong><\/p>\n Expect mostly sunny skies<\/strong> across Indianapolis<\/strong> and surrounding areas, though some patchy fog<\/strong> may linger briefly this morning. There\u2019s a very slim chance of a stray afternoon shower<\/strong>, but most areas will stay dry<\/strong>. Highs<\/strong> will climb into the low 90s\u00b0F (32\u201334\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with sticky humidity<\/strong> making it feel even hotter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tonight: Clear skies and warm overnight<\/strong><\/p>\n Skies remain mostly clear overnight<\/strong>, with low temperatures<\/strong> settling into the low to mid-70s\u00b0F (22\u201324\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Humidity levels remain elevated<\/strong>, keeping the air muggy<\/strong> through the early morning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunday: Storm chances return late in the day<\/strong><\/p>\n A cold front<\/strong> will begin approaching central Indiana<\/strong> by late Sunday<\/strong>, increasing the risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms<\/strong> late in the afternoon and evening. Most of the day will stay dry<\/strong>, with daytime highs once again in the low 90s\u00b0F (32\u201334\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Heat and high dew points<\/strong> will contribute to uncomfortable outdoor conditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looking ahead: Rain chances linger, heat holds<\/strong><\/p>\n The 7-day forecast<\/strong> features multiple small chances for rainfall<\/strong> as a frontal boundary<\/strong> hangs nearby. Expect highs in the upper 80s\u00b0F (30\u201331\u00b0C)<\/strong> much of the week, with dew points remaining oppressive<\/strong>, making conditions feel miserable at times<\/strong>, especially during peak afternoon hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Air quality improves in central Indiana after a smoky start INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 This Saturday, July 5, central Indiana woke up to very unhealthy air quality, primarily due to trapped smoke from July 4th fireworks.
