The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook for Knoxville and surrounding areas, warning of potential black ice as temperatures drop overnight. Wind chill values are expected to fall into the teens in many locations this morning, with single digits across higher elevations.

While the week started off with precarious conditions, the hazardous weather outlook professes that no severe weather is anticipated after today.
