The National Weather Service in Knoxville has issued a weather outlook that casts a fog over today’s commute and an eye toward a stormy week ahead. Morning commuters in the Knoxville area should be wary of locally dense fog near and along waterways, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less through sunrise. Travelers near any lakes or rivers should exercise caution, according to theNWS advisory.
The weather today is expected to be a mix of conditions, with patchy fog clearing by mid-morning, followed by partly sunny skies and a high temperature around 68 degrees. Tonight, East Tennesseans can expect the calm before the stormy sequel, as clouds increase and the low settles around 51 degrees. However, the wind is expected to remain light through the evening, as detailed byNWS.
Change broods on the horizon come Tuesday, with an 80% chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 10 a.m. This unsettled pattern continues through midweek, bringing breezy winds that will pick up with gusts potentially as high as 25 mph on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night sees the weather script flipping to mostly clear, with a chilling low of around 37 degrees.
By Thursday, the brisk narrative continues as higher elevations in the East Tennessee mountains may see gusts up to 45 mph at times, theforecast notes. These winds bring more than a chill; they also indicate that temperatures will drop enough for snow later in the week. “Lastly, light snowfall accumulations will also be possible in higher elevations of the East Tennessee mountains and southwest Virginia Thursday and Friday.”
The end of the week holds a mix of clouds, scant chances of showers, and some peeks of sunshine, with temperatures taking a noticeable dip. The weekend may offer some reprieve, with mostly sunny skies and highs gradually climbing to the mid-50s by Sunday. Temperatures will dip to the mid-30s in the evening.
