Knoxville starts Tuesday with clear skies and a chilly reading near 40 degrees, but the afternoon will feel more like early fall than November. Sunshine should push temperatures close to 70 before they slide into the mid-60s late in the day, with no rain expected. Tonight stays mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to around 43.
Warmth Holds Through Veterans Day
Wednesday should bring another mostly sunny afternoon, with a high near 69 and light winds. The National Weather Service in Morristown expects clouds to build later, setting up a wetter turn after sunset.
Rain showers are likely Wednesday night, with an 80% chance of precipitation and a low near 51. Anyone planning Veterans Day activities should get the best outdoor conditions during the daylight hours, then keep a rain jacket handy for the evening.
Showers Arrive, Then A Sharp Chill
Thursday stays unsettled, with likely rain showers, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 59. West winds could gust to 25 mph, making the day feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.
The bigger change arrives Thursday night through Saturday. Friday is expected to top out near 48 with a slight chance of showers, while temperatures on Saturday will likely struggle to make it above the 40s in most valley locations under mostly sunny skies; overnight lows fall to around 31 Friday night and 29 Saturday night.
The forecast discussion also points to light snow accumulations in the higher elevations from Thursday night into Saturday. A brief flurry or light snow shower could mix into some valley locations, especially north of Knoxville, but the details remain uncertain and no winter weather advisory is posted.
Sunny Weekend Rebound Comes Slowly
Sunday looks sunny with a high near 54, followed by a mostly sunny Monday near 66. The colder late-week setup is a substantive shift from Hoodline's earlier Knoxville forecast, which highlighted a longer mild stretch around Veterans Day.
