🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 53 degrees, low of 41 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is giving us a bit of a mixed bag today, Bloomington pals! 🌦️ It’s a good idea to keep your rain boots handy for those puddle-jumping adventures later on. Morning rain showers are on the menu, with a side of patchy fog for that extra misty touch. 🌧️ By midday, the rain should be wrapping up, making way for a cloudy afternoon that might just coax Trombone Guy out for a serenade on Kirkwood. πŸŽΊπŸ˜„ Remember to grab a cozy layer because the high is hugging around 53 degrees, and that northeast wind is doing its thing at a gentle 7 mph. As we wind down for the evening, the rain clouds will bid us adieu, leaving behind a sprinkle or two in their wake. Patchy fog may make a guest appearance after 10pm, so if you’re out and about, take it easy on those roads. πŸš— And for those of you eyeing a leisurely evening stroll or some porch-sitting time, the night looks mostly clear with a calm wind, perfect for a moment of peaceful reflection under the starlit sky. Maybe swing by Hopscotch Coffee for a warm cup of Joe or pop into Global Gifts for some feel-good window shopping. πŸ›οΈβ˜• So, my lovely friends of Bloomington, remember to embrace the day with a smile and your favorite umbrella by your side. Stay cozy, stay dry, and let’s make the most of whatever weather comes our way! 🌈✨
