🌞 Today’s Weather
High: 49°F | Low: 32°F
Well, folks, looks like we've got a mixed bag of weather coming our way today in Bloomington! 🌦️
We're starting off with mostly sunny skies, which is always a good sign for a bright morning ahead. The high is expected to reach around 49 degrees, so it might be a good day to grab a slice of deep-dish pizza from Mother Bear's and enjoy it outdoors if you can. 🍕☀️
As we head into the afternoon, the wind will pick up a bit from the west at 6 to 10 mph. So, if you're planning on taking a stroll down The B-Line Trail, you might want to hold onto your hat! 🚲🌬️
Now, here's where things get interesting—a 20 percent chance of snow is creeping in after 4 am. That's Indiana weather for you, always keeping us on our toes! So, don't be surprised if you wake up to a dusting of snow tomorrow morning. ❄️☃️
Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with a low around 32. The wind will calm down as it shifts to the north-northeast around 5 mph. It might be a good night to cozy up with a warm drink at Hive on the east side. 🍵🌜
Tomorrow morning, there's a 30 percent chance of snow, mainly before 7 am. So, if you've got an early start, you might want to give yourself some extra time to clear off your car. And then, we'll be back to mostly sunny skies with a high near 48. Sounds like a perfect day to explore Vintage Vogue by GW for some unique pre-owned finds! 👗🛍️
So, folks, keep an eye on the weather as you plan your day, and as always, stay safe and enjoy all that Bloomington has to offer, snow or shine! ☺️🌼
