🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 29°F | Low: 25°F
Looks like we've got a bit of a mixed bag today in our lovely Bloomington! 🌤️🌬️
We've got the sun playing peek-a-boo with those clouds, bringing us a high near 29. The wind is doing its thing from the west at around 9 mph, so maybe hold onto your hats if you're out and about! 🌬️
As we head into the evening, those clouds are going to gather 'round for a cozy night, with the temp snuggling down to around 25. The west southwest wind will be making its presence known at 8 to 10 mph, giving us a little nudge now and then. 💨
Now, as we look ahead, those clouds are going to keep on increasing, but hey, a high near 36 sounds like a step in the right direction, doesn't it? The west wind will be there too, blowing gently at 6 to 10 mph, maybe giving us a bit of a rustle in the trees. 🍃
So, whether you're planning a cozy dinner at Malibu Grill, cheering on the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall, finding your inner peace at the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center, sharing spooky stories at Stepp Cemetery, or just enjoying a cold one at The Tap, be sure to dress warmly, bring your umbrella just in case, and enjoy the day in our little corner of the world! 🦞🏀🛕👻🍻
Stay warm, Bloomington! 🧡
