๐ BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 33ยฐF | Low: 9ยฐF
Hey there, neighbor! Looks like we're in for a mix of clouds and sunshine today, with a high near 33. So, it might be a good idea to grab that cozy sweater before heading out. The wind from the west is expected to be around 7 mph, just enough to give your hair a little extra flair.
As we move into the evening, the clouds will thin out a bit, bringing us a partly cloudy night with a low around 9. That's definitely blanket weather right there! And watch out for the west southwest wind early on, shifting to a north northwest breeze after midnight. It's like the winds are doing a little dance routine, keeping things interesting for us.
Now, as we start our day tomorrow, expect a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures dropping to around 10 by 8 am. Brrr, that's chilly! And with wind chill values potentially as low as -5, it might be a good excuse to cozy up with a hot cup of cocoa.
The north northwest wind will be picking up a bit, ranging from 9 to 11 mph, with gusts possibly reaching up to 21 mph. So, hold onto your hats if you're out and about! Maybe a good day to take a stroll down The B-Line Trail and let the wind give you a little push.
All in all, it's a day to bundle up, stay warm, and maybe treat yourself to a hot meal at one of our local gems like Dagwood's Deli Sub Shop or Osteria Rago. And hey, if clouds aren't your thing, you can always head over to Kirkwood Observatory for a bit of stargazing later on.
Stay cozy, stay safe, and have a wonderful day, Bloomington! ๐ค๏ธ๐งฃ
