The National Weather Service in Knoxville reports a clear and brisk morning with temperatures holding steady at about 23°F, and calm winds to match the still atmosphere. Despite the chill, sunny skies dominate the day's forecast with an expected high near 45°F — a brief reprieve before a cold night settled in at around 28°F. As of their last update at 5:55 am EST, visibility remains unobstructed at 10 miles, promising clarity for Knoxville residents going about there day.
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service anticipates that the calm weather will make a decided turn. Tuesday's forecast calls for sunny conditions with light winds picking up pace, suggesting a less sedate day with highs escalating near 54°F. Yet it's Wednesday that signals a substantial shift — showers are expected after 1 pm, with a considerable 80% chance of precipitation and gusty winds maintaining the trend.
The latter half of the week presents a volatile mix, with rain and snow predicted for Wednesday night, potentially giving way to snow showers on Thursday morning. With nighttime lows plunging to around 26°F, the brisk cold will persist, capped at 31°F the following day under mostly cloudy skies. The weather outlook broadens on Friday, largely sunny with highs approximating 40°F and a slight chance for precipitation in the evening hours.
While the weekend outlook includes a mild 20 percent possibility for snow showers, daytime conditions are expected to be partly sunny. Nighttime temperatures, however, will once again dip sharply, down to 20°F, according to the forecast. In a statement released by the National Weather Service Morristown TN, locals are advised to stay tuned for updates concerning "accumulating snowfall" which could notably affect the Plateau, northern Tennessee valley, southwest Virginia, and the mountains of far east Tennessee — signaling a perhaps challenging week ahead for those regions.
