Sunny Stretch Holds Through Veterans Day
Tuesday should be another easy outdoor day around Knoxville, with mostly sunny skies and light winds. Veterans Day will stay mostly sunny as well, making the middle of the week the best window for walks, errands and other plans before the pattern changes.
Rain Arrives Before A Sharper Chill
Rain showers are expected to develop after 1 a.m. Thursday, followed by a mostly cloudy day with an 80% chance of showers. Thursday’s high should reach about 59 degrees, but west winds could gust up to 25 mph and make it feel cooler.
Friday looks mostly cloudy with a high near 48 degrees, followed by a low around 32 Friday night. Saturday should remain chilly near 49 degrees, while Sunday turns sunny and milder near 55.
Higher Elevations Could See Snow
The late-week cold air may bring wintry weather to the mountains from Thursday night through Saturday, with accumulating snow possible at higher elevations. Snow mixing into Knoxville and other valley locations is less certain, but the forecast is clearly shifting from mild fall afternoons to a colder, more unsettled finish.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Knoxville area.
