🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 33 degrees, low of 14 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is tossing a bit of a wintry mix our way today, Bloomington pals! πŸŒ¨οΈβ„οΈ The day is starting off with a chance of snowβ€”maybe a little dusting to keep things interesting before lunchtime. After that, we might get a sprinkle of flurries dancing around in the air like confetti at a Hoosier celebration. πŸŽ‰ Cloudy skies are hanging around, like a cozy blanket wrapping our town in a soft, muted light. The high is topping out near 33 degrees, so it’s a day for layering up like you’re dressing for a stroll through the Wylie House Museum’s heirloom gardens. 🏑🌿 A gentle north-northeast breeze is blowing at about 5 to 7 mph, just enough to rustle the leaves at Griffy Lake without knocking over your morning coffee. β˜•οΈπŸ‚ As we head into the evening, the chance of precipitation lingers at 40%, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy if you’ve got post-work plans. πŸŒ‚ Tonight, the clouds will stick around like a silent audience at a planetarium show in Jordan Hall of Science, with the temperature dipping to a chilly 14 degrees. Brr! ❄️ The wind will keep things moving at a relaxed 6 mph pace, just enough to make you appreciate the warmth of home when you finally settle in for the night. Tomorrow brings a mix of clouds and sun, shining down with a high near 26 degrees. It’s the kind of day that feels like a porch-sitting evening, watching the world go by and feeling grateful for the simple joys of Bloomington life. 🌀️ So, grab your coat, maybe a hat and gloves, and embrace the winter wonderland outside your door. Stay cozy, my Bloomington neighbors, and enjoy the beauty of each season as it unfolds around us. Stay warm, stay safe, and have a wonderful day! 🧀🧣🌼
