WHAT TO EXPECT

The heaviest of the rain moved through early this morning and we’ll just have off and on rain chances. We pull the coverage back to 40% for the afternoon.

As the waves of rain move through today, some could be heavy at times. The rain will mostly impact areas more north and east of Knoxville. Some areas like Crossville may not even get a drop of rain. We drop the coverage from about 60% early to 40% moving into the Sunday afternoon.

LOOKING AHEAD

After the rain chances come to an end we begin to turn our attention to warmer weather as temperatures will steadily climb each afternoon. Memorial Day itself looks drier with a mix of sun and clouds as high temperatures rebound into the middle 70s. We don’t stop there though as temperatures will continue to warm with more sunshine.

Moving into the middle of the week we can expect afternoons to be closer to normal in the lower 80s with middle and even upper 80s by the end of the week. Some areas could be looking at the first 90-degree day of the year!
