Fire danger warning issued for central Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The National Weather Service has issued a fire danger warning for a large swath of central Indiana on Thursday.
The weather service says the already dry conditions combined with temperatures expected to soar above 100 degrees in some places, low humidity and winds gusting up to 30 mph could combine to create combustible conditions.
The weather service says a red flag warning will be in effect Thursday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. from Kokomo in the north to Vincennes in the southwest and North Vernon in the southeast. Meteorologist Michael Koch says central Indiana generally doesn't have too many red flag warnings, although the weather service did issue one on Monday.
Koch says central Indiana sometimes goes years without a red flag warning.
