🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 31°F | Low: 27°F
Looks like Mother Nature is planning a bit of a surprise visit today, Bloomington pals! Scattered flurries are popping up before lunchtime, but don't let those sneak up on you if you're out grabbing a coffee at Rainbow Bakery. And hey, a slight chance of snow might say hello again after 5 pm—maybe nature's way of adding a touch of winter magic to Dunn Woods' serene paths.
The sky is throwing on its cloudy blanket, keeping us cozy with a high near 31. The west wind is giving us a gentle nudge at 5 to 7 mph. But hold onto your hats, folks, because come evening, we might be in for some snow! Picture those fluffy flakes dancing down as you stroll through Global Gifts, admiring treasures from around the world. The snow could pick up its pace between 8 pm and 4 am, potentially bringing us 3 to 5 inches of the white stuff to frolic in.
As we tuck ourselves in for the night, temperatures will snuggle around 27 degrees, with a light and variable wind making itself known. By tomorrow morning, there's still a 30 percent chance of snow, mainly before 7 am. But fear not, by midday, we might catch a glimpse of the sun peeking through those stubborn clouds, with a high near 36. So, whether you're sipping a warm drink at Greetings on Kirkwood or picking up some fresh goodies at Bloomington Farm Stop Collective, you might want to have that cozy sweater handy.
So, my Bloomington buddies, keep those scarves close and your spirits high as we navigate this wintry mix together. Stay safe and warm out there, and don't forget to check back for updates as we journey through this snowy day! 🌨️☕🧣
