🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 57 degrees, low of 28 degrees. Hey there, neighbors! 🌼 Taking a peek at the sky, it looks like we’ve got a bit of patchy fog to start our day, but don’t let that deter you from those morning strolls along the Heritage Trail or grabbing a cup of joe at one of our cozy downtown spots. As we move through the day, those clouds are going to be rolling in, but no need to fret – it’s just nature’s way of adding a little drama to our skyline. With a high near 57, it might be a good idea to have a light jacket handy for any errands you have lined up around town. By evening, the clouds will start to break up, revealing some of that glorious sunshine we all love. Maybe it’s a perfect evening for a brisk walk around the Sample Gates or a leisurely dinner at Samira or Turkuaz CafΓ©. Those cool breezes from the west-southwest might make you want to linger a bit longer outside. Tonight, as the night settles in, temperatures will dip down to around 28 degrees, so cozy up with a warm blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet of the evening. And if you’re an early riser, tomorrow is looking mostly sunny with a high near 41, perfect for a visit to Lilly Library or a family outing at Karst Farm Park. So, dear neighbors, grab your scarves and maybe a favorite book, and let’s embrace whatever surprises the weather has in store for us today. Stay warm, stay safe, and have a beautiful day in our lovely Bloomington! β˜€οΈπŸŒ³
