🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 52°F | Low: 49°F
Looks like we're in for a bit of a mixed bag today, Bloomington pals! 🌦️ After morning fog clears out, we might see a sprinkle or two popping up in the afternoon—so maybe toss that umbrella in your bag just in case if you're heading out after lunch. Highs will be hanging around a cozy 52, with a light south wind to keep things gentle.
As the day moseys along, those clouds will be sticking around, setting the stage for some more substantial showers rolling in after 11pm. Our evening low will snuggle close to 49, with a calm wind keeping things peaceful.
And tomorrow? Well, it looks like we're in for a good ol' rainy day, friends! 🌧️ Highs near 58, with the chance of rain pegged at a whopping 90%. So, maybe pull out those rain boots and grab an extra cup of coffee from The Runcible Spoon to stay cozy.
Remember, Bloomington weather can be a bit whimsical, so keep an eye out for those unexpected downpours and enjoy the rainy day vibes as best you can. Stay dry, stay warm, and maybe plan a visit to WonderLab or swing by Upland Brewing Company for a little indoor fun if the weather has you feeling waterlogged.
And for our neighbors in Ellettsville, don't worry, you're part of our weather chat too! The rain doesn't play favorites, so grab a good book and enjoy the pitter-patter of those raindrops on your windows. 🏘️☔️
Alright, Bloomington, keep those smiles bright even if the skies are a bit gloomy. We'll weather this rainy spell together, just like we always do. Take care out there, folks!
