🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 51 degrees, low of 40 degrees. Oh, hey there, neighbor! 🌼 Just peeked at the weather forecast while savoring my morning coffee. Looks like our day here in Bloomington is shaping up to be one of those classic, changing-sky kinda days. We’re starting off with those cozy, cloudy vibes—temperature holding steady around 51. A gentle north breeze at about 6 mph might rustle the leaves just enough to make you reach for that extra layer if you’re heading out. Now, here’s the scoop for the rest of the day: Rain looks to be making an appearance, likely popping by between noon and 2 pm. 🌦️ So, if you’re planning a lunchtime stroll to Rainbow Bakery for a sweet treat, you might want to tuck an umbrella into your bag, just in case. By the afternoon, we might catch a break from the rain, with just a chance of showers dancing around after 2 pm. Highs near 46, and a light breeze playing around before picking up speed in the morning. 🌬️ So, if you’re dreaming of a porch-sitting evening at FARMbloomington, keep an eye on those gusts, which could reach up to 25 mph. Tonight, we’re looking at a low near 40, with those clouds keeping us company. The north northeast wind will do a little dance, becoming east after midnight. 🌙 Remember, it’s all about embracing the beautiful unpredictability of our Hoosier weather, just like deciding between a cozy evening at Little Italy Market or a flavorful adventure at Samira Restaurant & Turkuaz Café. Stay cozy, stay dry, and enjoy the little moments that make our Bloomington days uniquely charming. ☕️🌧️🌈
