🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 38°F | Low: 33°F
Oh, hey there, Bloomington buddies! Just peeking out the window and checking out the forecast for our cozy little corner of the world. Looks like we've got a day that's a bit of a mixed bag, but nothing we can't handle, right?
Starting off with some increasing clouds and a high near 38. A gentle south southwest wind to keep things moving along. Might want to grab a cozy jacket before heading out to the Book Corner or the Indiana Memorial Union today.
Later on, we might see some patchy drizzle creeping in between 9pm and 11pm. But don't let that dampen your spirits! Maybe a good excuse to snuggle up with a good book from the Book Corner or take a stroll by Dunn Cemetery for some local lore.
And oh, don't be surprised if you encounter some patchy fog tomorrow morning around 9am to 10am. Just nature adding a bit of mystery to the day. After that, mostly cloudy skies gradually giving way to sunshine and a high near 44. Sounds like a perfect excuse to enjoy a peaceful moment by the Showalter Fountain or tackle the infamous Ballantine Hall Stairs on campus.
So, my friends, layer up, keep an eye out for those changing skies, and remember to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our Bloomington nook. Stay cozy and enjoy the day ahead, rain or shine! 😊🌦️
