🌞 Today’s Weather

Air Quality · Bloomington

41 — Good · PM2.5

Sunrise 6:35 AM · Sunset 9:09 PM · Moon: Waxing Crescent

Heads up, folks: an Air Quality Alert is in effect for today, so if you’re planning to head outside, make sure to pace yourself and keep hydrated. It’s a sunny Sunday with highs reaching the upper 80s, but watch out for patchy smoke in the morning and a bit of fog lingering before 9. If you're out for a stroll on the Limestone Greenway, those clear skies should make for a pleasant afternoon once the haze lifts.

Tonight, expect mostly clear skies and a comfortable low in the mid-60s. The air should calm down nicely, making it a good night to enjoy the quiet or gaze at the stars if the smoke clears.
