🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 73°F | Low: 91°F
Looks like Mother Nature is giving us a little bit of everything today here in Bloomington! We might want to keep an eye on the sky as we navigate our way through the day. 🌦️
Morning birds chirping, Bryan Park coming to life, and a potential for isolated showers dancing on the horizon. The sun is shining bright, but don't be surprised if a rogue thunderstorm decides to crash the party after 5 pm. 🌦️⛈️
With a high near 91, it's definitely feeling hot out there, so make sure to grab a cool drink and maybe seek some shade under the trees at Griffy Lake or by the Monroe Lake shore. 🌅🛶🌲
As we head into the evening, those scattered showers and thunderstorms might be making their grand entrance, so keep those rain boots handy if you're heading out to catch the sunset at Memorial Stadium or perusing the Bloomington Farmers Market for some local goodies. 🏈🌽🧺
Looks like the weather is keeping us on our toes today, but hey, that's just the Midwest for you! Stay safe, stay dry, and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of our Bloomington skies. 🌦️☔️🌈
