🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 28 degrees, low of 15 degrees. Looks like Mother Nature is throwing us a little winter surprise today, Bloomington pals! Snow showers are likely to dance around town until late afternoon, so you might want to grab that cozy sweater and your favorite mug for some hot cocoa from Hopscotch Coffee while enjoying the snowy views outside.❄️☕ Temperatures are keeping things chill around 28 degrees, and that west wind is going for a bit of a whirl at around 21 mph, with gusts showing off at 36 mph. Hang onto your hats if you’re out and about, or maybe just cozy up with a good book from the Bloomington Public Library instead.📚🌬️ As we head into the evening, those scattered snow showers will soon bid us adieu, making way for a mostly cloudy night with a low around 15. The west northwest wind is still feeling playful at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 31 mph—reminding us that winter is still very much here to stay. Maybe it’s a good night to order some warm noodles from Siam House and have a movie marathon at home, what do you think?🍜🎥 Tomorrow, the sun is peeking out to say hello, with a high near 29. The west northwest wind is slowing down a bit to a gentle 8 to 10 mph, giving us a chance to breathe in some crisp, fresh air. It might just be the perfect day to take a leisurely stroll through the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District (BEAD) and soak in some local creativity and charm.🎨🌞 So, friends, stay warm, be safe on those roads, and remember that even on the chilliest days, Bloomington’s community warmth always shines through. Wishing you a cozy and delightful day ahead! Take care out there! 🌆🧣🌼
