- Tuesday: Slightly cooler with full sunshine. High: 65°
Much colder weather will settle in Sunday night behind the cold front that gave us all that rain last night and this morning. That rain was actually good, because it will help us with our drought conditions. Noticeably drier air will continue to filter in tonight with mostly clear skies. The winds will taper off as well as we head through the night. The combination of the drier air, mostly clear skies, and light winds will allow for most areas to fall into the upper 30s and lower 40s. Areas along the Kentucky and Tennessee border and across the higher terrain of the Smoky Mountains will be a little cooler. Those areas could see some patchy frost. Make sure to protect those plants.
We can look forward to a nice warm-up Monday afternoon with light winds and mostly sunny skies. Most areas will reach the middle 60s.
Another weak and dry cold front slides from northwest to southeast across the region late Monday night, but it will not have enough moisture to produce any rainfall, just a few more clouds and keeping us on the cooler side. Lows to start off Tuesday will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s…
