🌞 Today’s Weather
High: 50°F | Low: 34°F
Looks like we're in for a mix of sunshine and clouds today, with a high around 50—perfect weather for a stroll through the Dunn Cemetery if you're feeling a bit adventurous. The wind is going to be light and variable, so your hair won't be too windblown if you're out and about.
As we head into the evening, the skies will be mostly clear, and the temperature will dip down to around 34. It might be a good night for stargazing at the Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve, with the calm wind giving you a peaceful backdrop for spotting constellations.
Tomorrow, get ready for some glorious sunshine with a high near 60. The wind will start off light from the south southwest and then pick up to a gentle southwest breeze. You might want to hold onto your hat as the wind could gust up to 20 mph—just a gentle reminder from Mother Nature to make sure you're dressed for the occasion.
So, whether you're grabbing a bite at The Trojan Horse Restaurant and Tavern or browsing the latest exhibits at the Grunwald Gallery of Art, it looks like the weather is on our side today. Maybe it's a day for a leisurely walk to Caveat Emptor Used Books to find a hidden gem or cozy up with a good read at home—whatever you choose, make the most of this lovely Bloomington day! 📚🌞
