🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 42 degrees, low of 35 degrees. Hey there, Bloomington! 👋 Today’s weather is like a mixed bag of surprises—just like when you reach into that Olive Leaf gift basket and discover a new favorite flavor. 🍶 So, here’s the scoop: we’re starting off with mostly cloudy skies as we sip our morning coffee, with a high near 42. Keep an eye out for those winds picking up speed like a student rushing to catch a bus on campus—12 to 17 mph by mid-morning, with gusts up to 28 mph. Hold onto your hats, folks! 🌬️ As we head into the evening, there’s a slight chance of rain creeping in after 3am, so you might want to tuck that umbrella next to your bed just in case. And overnight, we’re looking at a low around 35 with a gentle south southwest wind to lull you to sleep, gusting up to 26 mph. 🌧️ But fear not, my friends! Tomorrow brings us a ray of sunshine and a high near 50, with a light west wind around 7 mph. It’s shaping up to be a glorious day for a stroll around the IU Biology Greenhouse or a cozy meal at Osteria Rago. 🌞🍝 So, don’t forget your layers today, and keep an eye on those winds—they might just whisk you away like a scene from a storybook. Stay warm and safe out there, Bloomington! ☔🌤️
