Knoxville is starting Wednesday in the upper 40s under cloudy skies, but the afternoon will feel much softer, with temperatures climbing toward 74 degrees. Winds should stay calm, and rain is not expected as the city settles into several mild days before Halloween weekend turns wetter.
Warm, Dry Weather Holds Through Friday
Thursday brings a brief chance of patchy fog before 10 a.m., followed by sunshine and a high near 76. Friday looks mostly sunny and warmer, with temperatures reaching about 78 degrees and light winds.
Overnight lows will remain seasonally cool, hovering in the mid-40s through Thursday night before rising to around 54 Friday night. Afternoon humidity may fall into the 30s, but the nearly calm winds should keep conditions manageable, according to the National Weather Service in Morristown.
Halloween Stays Mild Before Showers Move In
Saturday, October 31, should remain mild but mostly cloudy, with a high near 75 and little wind. Rain chances increase late Saturday night, with rain expected by early Sunday, though the onset timing remains uncertain.
Sunday looks like the unsettled turn in the forecast, with rain showers likely, a 60% chance of precipitation and a cooler high near 68. That is a sharper shift from the earlier outlook that kept Halloween weekend largely dry, as Hoodline previously reported.
Drier Weather Returns Monday
Drier weather returns Monday, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 73. Tuesday could bring some sun and possible thunderstorms, so outdoor plans may need a little flexibility after the otherwise friendly run of 70-degree afternoons.
