🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 50°F | Low: 26°F
Looks like we've got a lovely day ahead of us here in Bloomington! 🌤️ The sun is shining bright, bringing us a high near 50, so it's definitely a good day to soak up some vitamin D and maybe catch Trombone Guy playing his tunes downtown. 🎺
Just a heads up, though, we'll have a bit of a breeze picking up later with gusts up to 25 mph. So, if you're planning a walk along the Limestone Greenway or a hike at Leonard Springs Nature Park, you might want to hold onto your hat! 🌬️🚶♀️
As we head into the evening, the clouds will roll in, and we'll see the temperature dip down to around 26. It might be a good night to cozy up with a warm cup of tea by the fireplace or take a leisurely stroll around the Rose Well House for some good luck. 💋🍵
Tomorrow, we'll start off sunny again with a high near 38, perfect for a visit to the Kirkwood Observatory to gaze at the stars. 🌌✨ Just keep in mind that we'll have a light northwest wind, so maybe grab an extra layer if you're planning to spend some time outdoors.
Overall, it looks like a mix of sunshine and clouds for our day, so be sure to enjoy the beautiful Bloomington scenery no matter what the weather brings. Stay warm, stay safe, and have a wonderful day, neighbors! 🏡☀️
