Knoxville is waking up to a cool 63-degree start Tuesday, but the day will turn into a clean, sunny summer reset. Skies should stay bright as temperatures climb to 88, with no rain expected and only a light northeast breeze.
The National Weather Service in Morristown says high pressure will keep East Tennessee dry and relatively comfortable Tuesday. Tonight will be mostly clear, with temperatures sliding to around 65 and winds nearly calm.
Storm Chances Return Midweek
Wednesday will be hotter, mostly sunny and near 90, though a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Wednesday night. Thursday is the first real weather wrinkle, with a slight chance of morning showers growing to a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, followed by a 50% chance Thursday night.
Friday keeps a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with the high reaching about 88. Any storm could interrupt outdoor plans, so Thursday and Friday are the days to keep a backup option handy.
Weekend Heat Builds Back In
Saturday looks sunny and near 90, followed by a mostly sunny Sunday near 91. Monday could be the hottest day in the outlook at 92, with mostly sunny skies and only a slight rain chance.
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Knoxville area in the current forecast. For now, Tuesday is the easy outdoor day; the umbrella can stay home, but it may want a Thursday and Friday reservation.
