🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 58 degrees, low of 54 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is giving us a little bit of everything today, just like a good ol’ Indiana potluck! 🌦️ We’re starting off with some patchy fog this morning, so be sure to take it slow on the roads if you’re out and about early. By midday, those clouds will start rolling in, but don’t let that dampen your spirits! It’s gonna warm up nicely to around 58 degrees, perfect for a stroll through the Bloomington Farmers Market or maybe catching a matinee at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. 🌽🧺🎭 As the day goes on, we might see some scattered showers sneaking in after 4 pm. So, if you’re planning an evening out at The Owlery Restaurant or exploring the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District, you might want to tuck an umbrella in your bag, just in case! πŸ₯—πŸŒ†πŸŽ¨ Temps will hang around 54 degrees with a bit of a breezy south wind, making it feel a tad chillier than it actually is. But hey, that’s just Indiana being Indiana, right? 🌬️ Later tonight, we’ll see those showers taper off, leaving us with a cloudy sky and a steady temperature. By tomorrow morning, we’ll have a slight chance of rain lingering until early afternoon, so keep that raincoat handy if you’re heading to the Indiana Memorial Union for a cozy study session or a catch-up coffee with a friend. πŸ¨β˜• And hey, don’t let those clouds get you down! By mid-morning, we’ll start to see some gradual clearing, with temps climbing to a pleasant 69 degrees. It’ll be a perfect porch-sitting evening to unwind and enjoy the beauty of our lovely Bloomington. πŸŒ±πŸ›‹οΈ So, my fellow Bloomington buddies, grab your layers, your umbrella, and your sunny disposition, and let’s make the most of this ever-changing weather day in our charming little corner of Indiana! Stay cozy, stay dry, and stay bloomin’ wonderful, friends! 🌼🌈
