Looks like we've got a bit of a weather rollercoaster headed our way today, Bloomington! 🎢 So, grab your jacket and maybe your rain boots too, just to be safe!
We're starting off with some partly sunny skies, which is always a nice treat, right? Highs reaching around 61 degrees, so it's not exactly shorts weather just yet, but hey, progress is progress! 🌥️
After lunchtime, you might want to keep that umbrella handy because the rain is planning to make a grand entrance around 11 pm tonight. Looks like we're in for a cozy, rainy evening, perfect for snuggling up with a good book or catching up on your favorite show. 🌧️☔
Temps will be dipping down to about 39 degrees overnight, with a calm wind turning into a west-northwest breeze as we drift off to dreamland. And oh, don't forget to close those windows, folks! We don't want any unexpected indoor showers, do we? 😄
Now, here's where it gets interesting—there's a chance of rain showers in the afternoon, followed by a potential cameo from snow showers. Yes, you heard that right! 🌨️❄️ It's like Mother Nature couldn't decide between rain or snow, so she's giving us a bit of both. Classic Indiana weather, am I right?
As we wrap up the day, the temperature will be taking a nosedive to around 36 degrees by 5 pm, with a brisk northwest wind swooping in to add a little extra chill to the air. Remember, friends, layer up and stay warm out there! 🌬️🧥
So, whether you're planning a cozy night in with some comfort food from Janko's Little Zagreb or maybe a stroll through WonderLab Science Museum to keep the kiddos entertained, just be prepared for whatever weather surprises come our way today. Stay safe, stay dry, and stay cozy, Bloomington! 🌂🧣
