39 days without measurable precipitation is the record for Indianapolis. August 14 to September 21, 1908. That was only broken by the 0.01" that was recorded on 9/22, with the next four days recording no precipitation.
This June does have the record for the number of consecutive days without measurable precipitation in June.
Taking this with a huge grain of salt because it's not a perfect predictor for obvious reasons, but interesting nonetheless, here's the total rainfall at IND for the respective 7-8 day periods (thru 180 hours) of the last four runs of the GFS weather model.
