The National Weather Service in Knoxville is keeping a close eye on the sky this week as overcast conditions and potential thunderstorms loom over the region. In its latest update, issued today at 6:55 a.m. EDT, Knoxville residents are advised of a 60% chance of precipitation, including possible showers and thunderstorms before 5 p.m., with humidity holding steady at 100%. Tonight’s forecast indicates a reduced chance of showers at 30%, offering some reprieve from the day’s erratic weather.
For those making Monday plans, the calm winds will continue, while the chance of precipitation drops slightly to 30% with an anticipated high of 82°F. However, with the calm winds may come localized heavy rainfall and the potential for flash flooding, according to the latest Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by the National Weather Service Morristown TN. This notice is a prompt for residents to stay cautious and vigilant, particularly those in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
The rest of the week looks to hold steady with these patterns of sporadic showers and thunderstorms, particularly notable on Wednesday when the chance of precipitation peaks at 70%. While no spotter activation is needed at this time, the community is encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions, as the National Weather Service states, “Slow moving showers and thunderstorms today may produce localized heavy rainfall and flash flooding.”…
