WHAT TO EXPECT

This morning will be clear and mild, with a low of around 18 degrees, about average for Knoxville. Scattered fog is possible.

It’s a beautiful sunny day, but with this heat, you’ll want to stay in the shade as much as possible! We’re warming up to 93 degrees and the dew point is just under 60 degrees, which is a sticky temperature that makes it feel a few degrees warmer.

The night is clear again and a little warmer at 20 degrees.

OUTLOOK

On Wednesday it will be a little warmer at 34 degrees and it will be a little humid again, so it will feel a few degrees warmer in the shade. But there will be plenty of sunshine again!

Humidity will continue to rise on Thursday, which could lead to isolated showers or thunderstorms. We’ll warm it to around 35 degrees, but it will feel like over 35 degrees!

After a high of 93 degrees, we expect a few more storms Friday afternoon and evening.

The first UT football game is on Saturday and we are closely monitoring the risk of isolated thunderstorms that could develop after the afternoon high of 33 degrees.

In your First Alert 8-day planner, temperatures drop slightly on Sunday with a few showers and thunderstorms and then more sunshine again on Monday, but more clouds and a bigger cooldown are coming next Tuesday. We’re expecting more rain just after this 8-day forecast.
