🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 40°F | Low: 21°F
Ah, good morning, Bloomington pals! 🌼☕ Let's peek out the window together and see what Mother Nature has in store for us today.
Looks like we've got a bit of a mixed bag happening today. We've got some patchy drizzle or freezing rain saying hello in the morning, followed by more of that friendly drizzle after lunch. 🌧️🕰️ And don't forget about that patchy fog—like the shy cousin of mist—making a subtle appearance before 7am.
Now, our thermometers are playing it cool with a high near 40, which is quite cozy for this time of year. The winds are doing their dance, starting off light and variable before becoming south around 6 mph in the afternoon. So, if you're planning an outing, maybe grab a light jacket to keep you snug as a bug. 🧥🍂
Now, as the day waltzes into the evening, we might see more of that patchy drizzle, possibly mixing it up with a bit of snow and freezing rain. But no need to fret, as there's just a slight chance of snow visiting us between 1am and 4am. 🌨️❄️ And as the night settles in, we'll have a cloudy blanket keeping us cozy, with temperatures snuggling down to around 21 degrees. Keep warm, friends!
Tomorrow, we're looking at a mix of clouds and sunshine, with a high near 32. The winds are joining the chill party, starting off northeast around 6 mph before deciding to take a break and become calm in the afternoon. So, it might be a good day to grab a cup of something warm and enjoy the changing skies above Bryan Park. 🌳☀️
Remember, whether you're strolling around the Bypass, exploring the mysteries of Monroe Lake's Submerged Communities in your thoughts, or savoring a juicy steak at Janko's Little Zagreb, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our Bloomington weather. Stay cozy and take care out there, neighbors! 🏡🌦️
