Knoxville is starting Sunday with clear skies and a crisp chill, but the sweater weather will not last all day. The forecast calls for a sunny afternoon near 67 degrees, followed by a colder night near 40 as the region settles into a long dry stretch.
Northeast winds should stay light at around 5 mph, with no rain expected Sunday. The National Weather Service expects mostly clear skies overnight and another sunny start Monday.
Sunny Days, Cold Nights
Monday brings a high near 70, while Tuesday warms to about 73 under mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will remain chilly, dipping to around 42 Monday night and 44 Tuesday night.
The warmup continues Wednesday, when temperatures could reach 74 degrees, with highs staying near 73 Thursday and Friday. Saturday looks similarly mild at around 74, and rain chances remain essentially nonexistent through the forecast period.
Frost Possible In Higher Terrain
People heading into the mountains or higher elevations should be ready for colder conditions, with areas of frost possible in parts of the broader region. Knoxville's forecast stays just above that risk, but early mornings will still feel brisk before the afternoon sun takes over.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the local area. For outdoor plans, the forecast is about as cooperative as October gets: bring a jacket before breakfast, then enjoy the sunshine by lunch.
