🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 33°F | Low: 9°F
Well, good morning, Bloomington! 🌞 Looks like we've got a mix of sunshine and clouds on the agenda for today. Ah, the classic Indiana weather indecision! But hey, variety is the spice of life, right?
If you're planning on a morning stroll through Bryan Park, you might want to bundle up a bit as the temperature is gonna be taking a bit of a dip. By 8 am, we're looking at around 10 degrees, with those sneaky wind chills making it feel like -5. Brrr! Looks like winter is reminding us it's still around, just in case we forgot.
As we move into the day, we can expect the high to reach about 33 degrees. Not too shabby! The west-northwest wind will be joining us at a leisurely 8 mph—just enough to ruffle your hair a bit, nothing too dramatic.
Now, for tonight, if you're planning a cozy dinner at Samira Restaurant or Turkuaz Café, it might be a good idea to grab a light jacket. The low is dipping down to around 9 degrees, and the wind will be making a gentle shift from light and variable to a more purposeful north-northwest breeze at 5 to 9 mph.
And remember, if you're out and about late, keep an eye out for OT 987, that funky interactive light sculpture—it might just add a little extra magic to your evening. So, Bloomington, enjoy the day, stay warm, and keep an eye out for those sneaky gusts of wind! 🍃
