According to their most recent report, Knoxville’s National Weather Service has forecast a day with more clouds and gusty conditions. In the afternoon, west winds are predicted to increase up speed from 10 to 15 mph to 15 to 20 mph. Even gusts of up to 30 mph are expected. With a slight risk of rain showers after 4 am, potentially combining with snow after 5 am, and largely overcast sky surrounding a low of about 35 degrees, tonight’s weather is likely to be unpredictable. Winds from the west continue to blow, with gusts of up to 25 mph and speeds between 10 and 15 mph.
The National Weather Service forecasts a slight 10 percent chance of showers before 7 a.m. on Friday. With a high approaching 48 degrees, the day is still largely overcast. The west wind is still blowing at around 10 mph, with gusts of up to 20 mph. There is a chance of rain before 1 a.m. on Friday evening under a largely cloudy sky with a temperature of about 38 degrees.
A break in precipitation is anticipated throughout the weekend, with a peak temperature of about 54 degrees on Saturday and partly sunny conditions. As the sky clear and the temperature approaches 35 degrees on Saturday night, the calm situation persists. By Sunday, we enter a region that is primarily sunny, with temperatures rising to a pleasant 61 degrees.
The National Weather Service also warned that high elevation gusts might occasionally exceed 40 mph and warned inhabitants of regions of southwest North Carolina, east Tennessee, and southwest Virginia to prepare for widespread gusts between 20 and 35 mph today. The statement states, “Wind chill values will fall into the 20s area wide tonight,” and single-digit wind chills are anticipated in the mountainous regions. Up to Friday morning, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the appropriate areas of southwest Virginia and the east Tennessee highlands.
About 30% of the region is expected to be affected by the possibility of showers returning by Monday afternoon as the week progresses, and the high will be close to 66 degrees due to mostly cloudy skies. Monday night showers seem more likely, with lows of 46 degrees and a high probability of precipitation before 1 am. Tuesday and beyond will see more erratic weather, with a 20% chance of precipitation and a mix of clouds and sun.
In light of the wind advisories and changing weather patterns anticipated over the next few days, residents and those getting ready for outdoor activities should be informed and exercise caution. Although spotter activation is not necessary at the moment, this could change if circumstances demand it.
