🌞 Today’s Weather
High: 41°F | Low: 34°F
Oh, hey there, neighbor! Just peeking out the window here in Bloomington and checking out the weather scoop for today. Looks like we've got a mix of clouds and a touch of sunshine dancing around us today.
You might want to grab your cozy coat because it's going to be a bit brisk out there with a high near 41. The wind is feeling quite chatty, blowing from the south at around 16 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. Hold onto your hats!
Now, there's a chance of sprinkles and flurries before 3 am, and then possibly just some flurries later on. So, if you see a few snowflakes doing a little dance, that's nature showing off its winter moves.
Tonight, it's going to stay cloudy with a low around 34. The south southwest wind is going to keep whispering at 8 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. So, it might be a good night to curl up with a warm drink and a good book.
But wait, here comes the sun! Tomorrow, we're looking at things brightening up gradually, with a high near 49. The west wind will be a gentle companion at 6 to 9 mph, guiding us into a sun-kissed day.
So, keep an eye out for those flurries, enjoy the cozy vibes tonight, and get ready to soak up some sunshine tomorrow. It's all part of the Bloomington weather adventure! Stay warm and have a wonderful day, neighbor! 🌤️☕🧣
