🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report
High: 28°F | Low: 22°F
Looks like we've got a mix of weather headed our way here in beautiful Bloomington! 🌦️
Today, we're starting off with some glorious sunshine to lift our spirits and give us that extra boost of energy. Highs near 28 mean it's a day for bundling up in your coziest winter layers if you're heading out to explore our lovely town. The northwest wind might be feeling a bit brisk at 8 to 10 mph, so maybe grab that scarf before you venture out to enjoy a stroll around Lake Lemon or a peaceful morning at the Indiana Geological Survey. 🌤️⛏️🛥️
As the day goes on, clouds will start to gather, signaling the possibility of some snow sneaking in after 3 am. If you're a night owl, you might catch a few snowflakes dancing in the streetlights. And hey, a little dusting of snow can make everything look like a winter wonderland, right? ❄️
Tonight, expect those temperatures to dip down to around 22, with a south southwest wind picking up a bit. Maybe a good night to cozy up with a hot drink and a blanket, especially if you're out sharing spooky Dunn Cemetery Ghost Stories with friends. 👶👻
Tomorrow brings a bit more action with a 30 percent chance of snow before 1 pm. So, keep an eye out for those flurries while you're out and about—perhaps picking up some unique finds at Vintage Vogue by GW or grabbing a delicious deep-dish pizza at Mother Bear's! 🍕👗🖼️
With highs near 40, it might feel like a bit of a rollercoaster, but hey, that's Indiana weather for you! Just remember to enjoy the mix of sunshine, snow, and everything in between. And as always, stay safe and warm, Bloomington friends! ☺️🌦️
