๐ŸŒž BloomingtonOnline Weather Report

Todayโ€™s weather in Bloomington: High of 15 degrees, low of 14 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is giving us a chilly start to the day here in our cozy Bloomington nook! ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธโ„๏ธ Yep, I’m peering out the window, and it seems those flurries are dancing around, adding a sprinkle of winter magic to our morning. โœจโ„๏ธ But hey, don’t let that chill make you shiver too much because we’re in for a cozy, stay-inside kind of day! The Uptown Cafe might be calling your name for a warm breakfast, as we’re looking at a steady temperature around 15 degrees for most of the day. ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฅž The wind is playing tag with us, blowing from the west-northwest at about 13 mph, with gusts up to 23 mph. It’s like a playful breeze, reminding us to bundle up before stepping out the door. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿงฃ Now, don’t let those flurries scare you off because they’ll be waving goodbye before 7 am, making way for some peeks of sunshine later on. Showalter Fountain might look even more elegant under those sunny skies! ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ But fair warning, it’s going to be a cold one with a high near 14 degrees. Brr! And those wind chill values might dip as low as -8, so make sure to layer up if you’re planning a stroll along the Heritage Trail. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ As the day winds down, we’ll be treated to a mostly clear evening, with temperatures snuggling down to a low around 6 degrees. The wind will still be whispering from the west, around 5 to 8 mph, so it might feel a tad bit chillier. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธโ„๏ธ But hey, it’s all part of that winter charm, right? So, if you’re heading out later, grab your coziest coat, maybe a hot drink from a local spot, and enjoy the twinkling stars above. It’s a perfect evening for a porch-sitting moment under the moonlight. ๐ŸŒ™โœจ Stay warm, Bloomington!
