WHAT TO EXPECT

This morning everything is clear and pockets of fog are forming. We are cooler at 46 degrees, although the average low for Knoxville this time of year is now 39 degrees!

We have a beautiful day to get outside and enjoy a cooler, but still above average fall day. We will reach a high of 66 degrees in Knoxville, with a cool breeze from the northeast at 3 to 10 miles per hour and gusts around 15 miles per hour.

Tonight will be slightly cooler and closer to normal, with 42 degrees in Knoxville. Once again it is largely clear and everything is calm for the time being.

LOOKING FORWARD

Wednesday will bring gradually increasing clouds, so still a beautiful day. The second cold front will bring rain late in the evening and throughout Wednesday night. This will keep us around 68 degrees, with a light breeze.

It’s a soggy start to Thursday, after a rainy night and persistent rain, this amounts to a WVLT First Alert Weather Day based on the timing. This can make for a messy morning commute, with aquaplaning and visibility problems being the biggest risks.

Scattered rain will fall in the afternoon and some afternoon showers will linger on Thursday, with a cooler day and cloudy skies. We will only be around 58 degrees in the afternoon.

In your First Alert 8-day planner, the weekend brightens up with cool mornings and just above average temperatures in the afternoon.
