🌞 Today’s Weather
High: 88°F | Low: 69°F
So, today’s shaping up to be one of those classic Indiana days where the weather can’t quite make up its mind 😊. This morning, as you’re taking a stroll past the McDoel Blooms mural, it's looking like a good time to soak in the sunshine while it lasts. We’ve got a high of about 88, which means it’s warm enough to make you think of grabbing a cool drink at Malibu Grill later.
But don’t let that sunshine fool you—by the time you’re wrapping up work or maybe heading over to the Glenn Black Laboratory for a peek at those fascinating archaeology displays, you might want to have an umbrella handy. There’s a 30% chance we’ll see some showers or even a rumble of thunder this afternoon. 🌦️
As the day rolls into evening, the clouds are planning on sticking around. If you’re thinking of catching the stars at Kirkwood Observatory, you might be out of luck with all the cloud cover. But hey, it could be a good excuse to cozy up with a good book instead. By the time the Hoosiers are on a roll at Assembly Hall, it’s more likely than not we’ll have some rain—90% chance, they’re saying. So, if you’re out and about, keep that raincoat close.
Tonight, it’ll cool down to about 69 degrees. Perfect for a porch-sitting evening, if you don’t mind a little drizzle. Maybe pop out the back door and listen to the rain while you unwind. 😊
Stay dry out there, and enjoy the little surprises the weather throws our way!
