Today’s Tennessee Weather
What a beautiful way to end the week! After some morning fog takes its time moving out, especially for East Tennessee, we’ll see lots of sunshine and highs in the low to mid 80s across the state. Get outside if you can!
Tonight’s Tennessee Weather
With mild temperatures, clear skies, and calm winds, conditions will be favorable for patchy fog across the state tonight. Be careful if you’re out and about, as some of that fog may become quite dense.
Tomorrow’s Tennessee Weather
After the morning fog burns off, the sun will shine bright! A few clouds in the afternoon may lead to a summer-like, isolated afternoon/evening shower or thundershowers, especially for those of you near our southern border.
Drought Monitor
The drought monitor is updated each Thursday.
