Long Range Air Quality Outlook Discussion

Long Range Outlook for the week of August 24

Dry weather and mostly sunny skies will prevail across the state until midweek. Then late Wednesday into early Thursday a cold front is expected to bring widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms to Indiana. Afterward, conditions will be dry the rest of the week. Temperatures will start off this week below normal and then become normal by midweek.

The smoke models both show little to no residual wildfire smoke over the state through midweek. The models indicate that the highest smoke concentrations right now are either in the western states or in northwestern Canada, and they do not indicate those plumes reaching Indiana anytime soon. Overall, there are no significant impacts forecast for Indiana due to smoke.
