🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 54 degrees, low of 44 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is giving us a little bit of everything today in our cozy corner of the Bloomington Bubble! πŸ«§πŸ“šπŸŒ¦οΈ Right now, the sky is wearing its cloudy coat, and we’re looking at a high near 54. So, don’t forget to grab your favorite sweater before heading outβ€”it’s that kind of day where the weather can’t quite make up its mind. πŸ§₯ If you’re planning an evening stroll or maybe a serenade to Trombone Guy on Kirkwood, you might want to tuck an umbrella under your arm. Rain’s coming to join the party, mainly after 7pm, with a 90% chance of getting cozy with us. πŸŒ‚β˜” As dusk falls, our temperatures will snuggle down to around 44 with a light breeze dancing in from the east. You might even hear the rustle of the leaves as the wind whispers through the trees. πŸŒ¬οΈπŸ‚ Tomorrow, as the sun starts its day, we’ll have a morning date with rain likely, mainly before 11 am. But fear not, by afternoon, those clouds will part ways and let the sunshine take center stage. 🌦️🌞 So, if you’re thinking of hitting the Grunwald Gallery of Art for some creative inspiration or grabbing a bite at The Trojan Horse for a tasty gyro, make sure you’re prepared for a sprinkle or two. Grab that raincoat and maybe a good book to enjoy a tranquil moment under an umbrella. 🎨πŸ₯™πŸ“– Remember, the weather may be like the folks at the Indiana Geological Surveyβ€”always changing and keeping us on our toes. Stay cozy, Bloomington! πŸŒ‚πŸ‘
