WHAT TO EXPECT

The last of the showers is spotty snowfall for the higher elevations this morning. We’re all feeling the colder air blowing into town, with low 30s on the Plateau and Knoxville dropping to around 37 degrees but it feels colder! We have a northwesterly wind around 15 mph this morning.

We have an ongoing chilly breeze today, but it’s gradually decreasing to around 5 mph for the afternoon. At least it’s a sunny afternoon, but we’re just below average with a high of 50 degrees today.

Tonight is all clear and calm, so a frosty start to Wednesday with a low of 32 degrees in Knoxville.

LOOKING AHEAD

Wednesday, Valentine’s Day, is a nice afternoon and impressive climb to 57 degrees. The evening is chilly though, with that ongoing clear sky and cold nights.

Thursday is mostly sunny and around 60 degrees, but we’ll have more clouds around Thursday night into Friday with a stray showers.

In your First Alert 8-Day Planner, some showers are possible Friday night with the next cold front. It’s looking like rain showers in the Valley and light to moderate snow showers in the higher elevations again. We’ll have a cooler weekend, with highs in the upper 40s.
