Knoxville’s Thursday forecast calls for fog and mist early, followed by partly sunny skies and a high near 72. The Wind Advisory for parts of Tennessee ended at 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 4, with brighter and drier weather expected Thursday afternoon.

Fog Could Complicate The Morning Commute

Fog may affect the morning commute in parts of East Tennessee.

Afternoon Skies Open Up

Clouds should thin through the late morning, with temperatures climbing from the 60s into the low 70s. West winds will stay light near 5 mph, and the chance of rain is 20%, with rain possible into Thursday morning.

How Thursday’s High Compares With November Norms

A high near 72°F would be warmer than usual for the date: according to the National Weather Service Morristown’s Knoxville November climate table, the normal high for November 5 is 64°F, and the record high is 84°F, set in 1948.

Thursday night turns partly cloudy with a low around 50 and light winds. Friday stays mostly sunny and milder than the weekend, topping out near 68 before temperatures begin their sharper slide.

Cooler Weekend May Bring First Frost

Saturday looks sunny but noticeably cooler, with a high in the 60s and a low around 37 Saturday night. The weekend forecast includes a deeper upper trough and a secondary cold front, with overnight lows in the 30s.

Sunday remains sunny with a high near 61, followed by a gradual warm-up next week. Highs are expected to reach 65 Monday, 67 Tuesday and 64 on Veterans Day, while overnight lows generally stay in the upper 30s and lower 40s.
