Solar eclipse 2024 Bloomington Indiana weather?

The solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024 from 3:04pm to 3:06pm. If you are reading this and you are not from Bloomington nor the state of Indiana, there are some things that you should know. The weather in Indiana changes rapidly. I think there's some kind of saying here that goes like this: "Just blink once and the weather changes.

April could bring warmer than average temperatures, cooler than average temperatures, clouds, strong winds, rain, hail and tornadoes or even snow. All of that is possible and maybe even more likely than a bright sunny day.  All this is to say that I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but based on historical data (From Weather Underground), April 8th has been mostly cloudy 60% of the time in the past ten years.

If you are driving here, prepare for most places to be closed. Indiana University will be closed and the local library in town will be closed. If the weather is bad, I think most people will be upset at having spent so much money to come here only to experience our bad weather. I bet most people will get drunk but then there wont be nay public bathrooms available so plan ahead or dare I even say it, CANCEL your plans to come here. 

Okay, here is the raw data for the last 10+ years:
