🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 48 degrees, low of 35 degrees. Hey there, neighbor! 🌞 Today in our lovely Bloomington, we’re in for a treat with mostly sunny skies painting our town a beautiful shade of blue. You might want to grab a light jacket as temperatures hang around a cozy 48 degrees—perfect for a morning stroll down The B-Line Trail or a visit to the McDoel Blooms mural, adding some extra charm to our neighborhood streets. 🚶‍♂️🎨 As the day unfolds, the sun will play peek-a-boo with a few clouds, nudging the thermostat up to a delightful 62 degrees. It’s the kind of weather that whispers, “Take a break and enjoy the outdoors,” maybe with a vegan donut from Rainbow Bakery or a fresh salad from The Owlery Restaurant. 🥗🍩 Now, as evening approaches, a light south wind will give way to a gentle southwest breeze, bringing a touch of warmth to the air. If you’re planning a porch-sitting session or a leisurely stroll past the Wylie House Museum’s heirloom gardens, you’re in for a treat. 🌱🏡 Later tonight, a calm wind will usher in patchy fog, wrapping our town in a cozy blanket as temperatures dip to a soothing 35 degrees. So, if you’re out and about after dark, take it slow and enjoy the peace that comes with a foggy evening. All in all, it looks like a picture-perfect day to soak up the simple joys of Bloomington. So go ahead, embrace the sunshine, breathe in the fresh air, and savor every moment this wonderful day has to offer. Until next time, my friend! ☀️🌿
