Residents of Knoxville can expect to navigate through a mix of foggy mornings and intermittent showers, with a possibility of thunderstorms in the coming days. This morning, the weather update included fog and mist and visibility down to two miles, with a temperature of 64°F and a dew point at 63°F, as reported by the National Weather Service in Knoxville.
The forecast indicates a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3 p.m. today, tempering otherwise mostly sunny skies onto a high near 88. Winds are projected to remain calm, potentially making it easier to still enjoy the day before any potential precipitation begins. Unfortunately, there is also a 10 percent chance that showers and thunderstorms may persist, before tapering off around 7 p.m.
Looking ahead to Sunday, a similar pattern is expected with a 30 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 p.m., under partly sunny conditions reaching a high around 87. The light breeze could potentially start to pick up, shifting southwesterly around 5 mph in the afternoon.
The week moves forward with a continuous possibility of pop-up showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening through Thursday, with highs consistently in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-60s. Residents should still prepare to possibly adjust any outdoor plans, as the chance of precipitation ranges from 30 to 60 percent on given days. Wednesday night into Thursday, showers are more likely, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation.
Friday's weather, while still several days out, is currently on the forecast to bring more showers, potentially providing relief from lingering warmth with cooler temperatures slated near 78 degrees. The repeated shower activity over the week potentially suggests that umbrella sales might see an uptick, as Knoxville embraces a damp end to September.
