🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 54 degrees, low of 43 degrees. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag today, Bloomington pals! 🌦️ The day is starting off on the cloudy side, but don’t let that dampen your spirits. By the afternoon, there’s a slight 20% chance of rain sneaking in after 4pm. So, if you’re planning an afternoon walk around Bryan Park or a visit to the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, it might be a good idea to tuck an umbrella in your bag, just in case. Temperatures are feeling a bit on the milder side with a high near 54, so it’s that in-between weather where you might want to layer up for any outdoor activities. The wind is keeping things calm for now, but it’ll pick up a bit in the afternoon, around 5 to 7 mph from the south southwest. As we head into the evening, the clouds are rolling in, and rain is likely to join the party after 7pm. 🌧️ Looks like we’re in for a cozy evening indoors, listening to the raindrops dance outside. The low will be around 43, with a south southwest wind at about 5 mph. Tomorrow, we’ll wake up to the pitter-patter of rain, which is likely to continue until around 10am. But fear not, as the clouds will gradually part, giving way to some welcome sunshine by the afternoon. A high near 52 is in store, with an east southeast wind at around 6 mph shifting northeast later in the day. So, my friends, it seems like we’re in for a bit of a weather rollercoaster today and tomorrow. Remember, Bloomington is beautiful rain or shine, so don’t let a few raindrops deter you from enjoying our lovely town. Stay dry, stay cozy, and have a wonderful day, no matter the weather! πŸŒ‚β˜”πŸŒž
