🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 25 degrees, low of 10 degrees. Oh, hey there, Bloomington buds! Looks like we’ve got a mix of sun and clouds coming our way today. Picture this: a cozy 25 degrees with a gentle north-northeast breeze. Time to bundle up in those layers and maybe grab a warm coffee from your favorite local spotβ€”Trojan Horse has some mighty fine brews to keep you toasty. πŸŒ¬οΈβ˜• As we head into the evening, those clouds are sticking around, bringing the temperature down to a chilly 10 degrees. But fear not, my friends, because the winds will calm down, making for a peaceful night to cozy up at home or maybe catch a flick at the local cinema. πŸŒ™πŸŽ₯ Now, looking ahead to tomorrow, we’re in for another mostly cloudy day, but with a slightly higher temp of 27 degrees. The wind will shift from calm to a light southwest breeze, perfect for a leisurely stroll around The Bloomington Bubble or a visit to the Kinsey Institute for some fascinating exhibitions. πŸŒ³πŸ›οΈ So, my fellow Bloomingtonians, grab those scarves and mittens, enjoy the beauty of our town, and make the most of this delightful winter day. Stay warm, stay safe, and I’ll catch you next time with more updates on our lovely hometown weather. Take care, neighbors! ☺️🌀️
