🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 33°F | Low: 27°F
Oh hey there, Bloomington friends! 🌤️ Today's weather has a little bit of everything in store for us, just like a surprise combo meal from Nick's English Hut! 🍔🍟
Looks like we're starting off with some clouds but don't let that get you down. By midday, the sun will start peeking through, giving us a nice partly sunny afternoon with a high near 33. 🌥️ So, grab your coat and maybe an extra layer to stay cozy if you're heading out for a stroll at Leonard Springs Nature Park. Those northwest winds might have a little nip to them at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 26 mph.
As we head into the evening, the clouds will gradually clear out, setting the stage for a chilly night with a low around 27. 🌙 You might want to snuggle up with a warm blanket or a hot mug of cocoa from World Foods Market to stay toasty. The west northwest wind will calm down to 5 to 7 mph and eventually become light and variable.
Now, for tomorrow, get ready to soak up some Vitamin D because it's going to be mostly sunny with a high near 43! 🌞 Sounds like a perfect day to explore the hidden gems at Vintage Vogue by GW or maybe whip up a delicious meal using goodies from Goods for Cooks. The southwest wind will be a gentle companion at 7 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph.
So, there you have it, Bloomington buddies! Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the little moments that make our city shine, rain or shine! 💖 #BloomingtonWeatherWatch
