Knoxville residents can expect a week of fluctuating weather ahead, with conditions swinging from clear skies to potential thunderstorms, the National Weather Service has announced. Today's forecast is set to be sunny with highs reaching up to a comfortable 84 degrees. Northeast winds will give way to a southwestern breeze as the afternoon progresses.

Tonight's sky will remain mostly clear as temperatures dip to around 59 degrees, accompanied by a gentle south wind. Monday will mirror today's weather, with sunny skies and highs again near 84, but with southwest winds picking up to 10 mph, and occasional gusts possibly hitting upward of 20 mph, according to NWS Knoxville.

However, Knoxville should brace for a wetter outlook starting late Monday night. The NWS predicts a 50 percent chance of showers between 2 am and 5 am, transitioning to a chance of showers and thunderstorms following 5 am. Conditions on Tuesday will likely turn stormy, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation, as showers and potential thunderstorms take the stage throughout the day.

The remainder of the week appears to be a mixed bag, with Wednesday looking sunny and a return of the high near 84 degrees. Yet, as the week progresses, Knoxville might see more showers and thunderstorms, primarily on Friday and Saturday, when the chance of precipitation jumps to 50 and 60 percent, respectively.
