🌞 Today’s Weather
High: 51°F | Low: 31°F
Looks like our Bloomington weather is keeping us on our toes today! 🌦️ We've got a mix of everything happening up above, so be sure to grab your layers before heading out.
As we start the day, we're looking at mostly sunny skies, with the thermometer hovering around a comfy 51 degrees. Not too shabby, right? The west wind might be giving us a little nudge at about 9 mph, so hold onto your hats if you're out and about. And don't be surprised if a gust or two comes dancing through at around 20 mph. Mother Nature's feeling playful today!
Now, here's where it gets interesting—later on, there's a chance of rain sneaking in between midnight and 4 am, followed by a potential snowflake or two after 4 am. Yes, you heard that right! Snow in April—it's like the weather can't make up its mind, just like us Hoosiers trying to pick between a day at Memorial Stadium or a stroll down Kirkwood Avenue.
By the time the morning rolls around, the clouds might be playing a game of peek-a-boo with the sun, as the temperature dips to a low around 31. The west wind will mellow out to a gentle 5 mph before deciding to take a break and become calm in the evening. And hey, there's a 40% chance of precipitation, so you might want to have that umbrella handy just in case.
As we greet the new day, expect a 10% chance of snowflakes before 7 am, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 50. The wind will be light and variable, giving us a chance to take a deep breath and enjoy the simple beauty of Bloomington.
So, whether you're planning a cozy evening at home or a visit to the Bloomington Farm Stop Collective to pick up some local goodies, it looks like a day full of surprises and delights. Stay warm, stay dry, and most importantly, stay smiling, Bloomington! 😊🌤️
