Foggy conditions in Knoxville could lead to hazardous travel this morning with visibility dropping to near zero in some areas, warns National Weather Service Morristown TN. Drivers are advised to stay vigilant and use low-beam headlights. Meanwhile, the weather forecast includes rain showers, a possible thunderstorm this afternoon, and light snowfall in the mountains tonight, notably above 4,000 feet.
Today's outlook suggests a 70% chance of precipitation with temperatures peaking near 58°F; nearly a twenty-degree drop is expected as temperatures plummet to a low around 38°F tonight, and the Southwest wind changing to North might bring chillier sensations, so bundle up if you're stepping out. The weekend sees a partial reprieve; things brighten up with sunny skies and highs inching back up to near 59°F on Saturday and even hitting the upper 60s on Sunday, promising a touch of relief from the week's damp dreariness.
Next week kicks off on a high note, with Monday boasting sunny skies and a high near 79°F, though it will not stick around, as chances of showers creep back into the forecast Monday night. According to the NWS Morristown TN, "A 40 percent chance of showers after 2am" is expected, so if you've got late-night plans, don't forget your umbrella.
As we look towards the remainder of the week, there's an alternating chance of showers and clear days, with mostly sunny conditions expected by next Wednesday and high temps holding steady in the mid-60s; a welcome consistency in a season that often toggles between balmy and biting.
