Temperatures get very cold tonight which is why we have a Freeze Warning for the majority of East Tennessee. We’ll start out in the upper 20s Tuesday morning.

LOOKING AHEAD

Spotty mountain snow showers continue Tuesday morning. We’ll see those mostly sunny skies with highs closer to the mid-40s. Those freezing temperatures return Wednesday and Thursday morning.

By Thursday, we’ll warm back up into the lower 60s, but the warm air doesn’t last long. A cold front arrives Friday bringing rain and cooler air for the weekend.

In your First Alert 8-Day Planner, we are tracking chilly temperatures by the weekend but sunshine and mostly dry weather as well.
