🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 41 degrees, low of 38 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is serving up a little bit of everything today, folks! 🌦️ Cloudy skies are in the cards with a high around 41, so you may want to grab that cozy sweater before you head out to Caveat Emptor Used Books or Btown Bodega. 📚🛒 The wind might be feeling a bit spunky, blowing in from the south at 14 to 18 mph, with gusts up to 32 mph—so hold onto your hats! 🌬️ And hey, keep an eye out for a sneaky 20 percent chance of snow sneaking in after 3 am. ❄️ As we move into the afternoon, things might start to clear up a bit, with mostly cloudy skies and the thermometer holding steady around 38. Perfect weather for a leisurely stroll at Beanblossom Bottoms, wouldn’t you say? 🐸🌿 By the time we’re thinking about dinner, the sun might just peek out to say hello, warming us up to a pleasant high near 50. A gentle west wind around 7 mph will be there to keep things feeling just right. 🌞 So, my friends, whether you’re out exploring Leonard Springs Nature Park or picking up some treasures at Global Gifts, it looks like a day where layers will be your best friend! Stay cozy and enjoy the ever-changing Bloomington weather tapestry. 😊🌼
