Local 5-Day Forecast for the Plateau

Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!

The calm before conditions change!

Today continues to looks partly to mostly cloudy and warmer. Temps will rise into the mid 30s this afternoon.

By Friday morning, clouds will thicken up and an arctic front will move through. An upper level low will combine with the front to bring developing snow showers across the region. Those snow showers should stay with us into Saturday.

Areas of East TN, including Knoxville, are under a winter storm watch for Friday afternoon through Saturday. If you have travel plans to the east tomorrow and/or Saturday, you will need to watch the weather very closely.

This arctic blast will bring bitter cold air and gusty winds. Those winds will bring dangerously cold wind chills to the area.

By Monday, we start a gradual warming trend!
