Locals can expect a sunny day ahead, the high is projected to be near 81 degrees with a northwest breeze picking it up slightly from 5 to 10 mph, tonight will transition into mostly clear skies with a soothing low tipping near 59 degrees, and although the northwest wind will simmer to a calm state as evening graces the horizon, it's setting up a prelude to a slightly warmer Saturday, according to NWS Knoxville.
Tomorrow morning may greet early risers with patchy fog between 7 am and 8 am but should otherwise remain mostly sunlit with temperatures climbing to a predicted high of around 83 degrees with hardly a whisper of wind to disturb the peace, however, Saturday night introduces a slight shift in the pattern—a 20 percent chance of showers coming into play after 2 am with clouds gathering to blanket the night sky and a low settling around 66 degrees.
For Sunday's outlook, residents should be equipped for likely showers accompanied by potential thunderstorms post 11 am making up a 70% chance of precipitation, and amidst the intermittent thrum of raindrops, the day's high should again near 81 degrees seasoned by a west wind at 5 mph, rolling into a night where the chances of showers and thunderstorms hover at 40% under mostly cloudy skies.
As the week unfolds, Monday and Tuesday both carry their share of precipitation probabilities, with a fair chance of showers and thunderstorms, skies oscillating from mostly sunny to partly cloudy at times, highs consistently hovering close to the low 80s, and nighttime lows gracefully dropping into the low 60s.
The midweek forecast for Wednesday and heading into Thursday promises a continuation of the pattern, facing a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day and slight chances stretching through the nights; yet through these possibilities, sunnier skies dominate with highs anticipated to peak around 86 degrees by Thursday.
