The latest update from the weather forecast in Knoxville reports a foggy and misty morning with humidity at 100%. However, conditions are set to shift towards a mostly sunny day with a high near 88 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, this comes after a calm start to the morning, with visibility stretching to six miles as the day kicks off. That calm wind remains a gentle whisper over the city, set to continue into the night, but not without the promise of increased cloudiness that will usher in a low of around 65 degrees.
As the weekend rolls in, the NWS forecast suggests a cloudy start this Saturday morning. However, as the hours wane, so do the clouds, giving way to a clear sky and a high near 77 degrees, with a north wind picking up to a modest 5 to 10 mph. Come nighttime, the skies are set to remain mostly clear with a dip in temperature to around 52 degrees, with that northeast wind holding steady at a mere five mph.
The outlook for Sunday and heading into early next week looks bright, literally. Sunny skies dominate, and highs range from 78 on Sunday to 84 by Monday, courtesy of a light northeast wind expected to calm as Monday progresses into the night. Then, come Tuesday, temperatures will continue to rise, hitting a high near 87, only to be followed by a slight increase in cloud cover come Tuesday night, setting a low around 58.
Midweek forecasts from the NWS suggest a pattern of mostly sunny days with temperatures consistently hovering in the mid-80s. Wednesday's high is pegged at near 86, dropping to a low around 60 by nightfall. Thursday continues the trend with a partly sunny day and a high again reaching near 84, making it a steady pattern that's easy to follow. This lends some predictability to the vibrant ebb and flow of East Tennessee's September skies.
