The weather in Knoxville remains a blend of overcast skies and intermittent sunshine, with humidity levels peaking at 100 percent this morning. The day started with a chance of showers and patchy fog that lifted by 7 AM, as reported by the National Weather Service . The NWS predicts that the area will experience a slight chance of showers later in the day, with the skies gradually becoming sunny and a high reaching near 80 degrees.
Residents can expect the calm wind to take a slight turn, reaching speeds around 5 mph from the north later this afternoon. Moving into tonight, the forecast suggests the return of patchy fog after 1 AM and mostly cloudy conditions with the low settling around 62. The dewpoint mirrors the current temperature, contributing to the full saturation of the air, and a denser shroud of fog is likely as darkness blankets the region.
The outlook for Friday includes a continuation of the fog before 9 AM, subsequently giving way to a mostly sunny sky with a high near 75 degrees. The calm wind will maintain its cycle, shifting from calm to a north breeze at around 5 mph. For those planning evening activities, Friday night is expected to be partly cloudy with a low of approximately 51 degrees, as the northeast wind lulls around 5 mph.

The outlook remains low in terms of hazardous weather, with no immediate need for spotter activation, according to the Hazardous Weather Outlook released by the National Weather Service Morristown TN.
