Knoxvillians might review their wardrobe choices for the week ahead, as the city's weather takes a turn from showers to sunshine. According to the National Weather Service, today's chance of morning showers will give way to clearer skies, with temperatures peaking at a comfortable 73 degrees. The shifting winds, moving from the southwest to northwest, might require a light jacket for anyone out and about in the afternoon.

Tonight's forecast predicts mostly clear skies and a cooler drop down to around 46 degrees, with a gentle northeast breeze. But the clear skies won’t sticking around all week. Thursday and Friday are expected to be predominantly sunny with highs edging up to 75 and 73 respectively—although Friday teases with a slight chance of showers.

As the weekend rolls in, those hoping for ideal outdoor conditions might just get their wish. The NWS anticipates mostly cloudy skies on Saturday, but with temperatures soaring near the 80-degree mark. The light south wind could pick up, so plan accordingly if planning a picnic or trip to the park. Come evening, the skies will clear somewhat, with temperatures settling around 60 degrees.

The NWS hints at a perfect Sunday with full sunshine and even higher temperatures pushing into the low 80s. Come Monday, however, prepare for a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms—a slight hiccup in what otherwise might be a picturesque slice of early summer. The pattern of sporadic showers and thunderstorms is slated to continue into early next week, with Tuesday showing a 40 percent chance of rain amid partly sunny conditions and highs near 81 degrees.
