The National Weather Service in Knoxville is calling for a sunny day with a high near 64 degrees as east Tennesseans start their week. After a chilly morning that prompted a frost advisory through 9 AM EDT, conditions are set to warm up with a gentle northeast wind of 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

In a forecast provided by the National Weather Service, temperatures are expected to steadily climb, set to reach highs in the low 70s and approaching the 80s as the weekend draws near.

Tuesday's forecast anticipates sunny skies again, with a high near 72 degrees. Any residual chill from the previous night is expected to quickly fade as light south winds turn southwest and pick up speed, potentially gusting up to 25 mph. This warming trend is set to continue through the week, with temperatures peaking at a comfortable 83 degrees on Sunday.

Evenings throughout the week are slated to follow suit with clear to partly cloudy conditions. Temperatures will gently ease down to lows around 40 tonight before they begin to steadily increase through the week, leading up to a milder Friday night low of around 60, as per the National Weather Service. As noted by the weather experts, the nocturnal cooldown will not be sharp enough to hastily turn on the heat. Citizens can look to enjoy balanced spring nights, perfect for stargazing or catching a fresh breath of night air.

Despite the idyllic spring weather, the NWS has also issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for areas of southwest North Carolina, east Tennessee, and southwest Virginia for the following week. The outlook calls for the potential of frost again on Tuesday morning in isolated regions, although not as widespread due to the anticipated warmer overnight temperatures. Officials state that "spotter activation is not needed at this time," as stated by the NWS Hazardous Weather Outlook, assuring that no immediate weather threats loom on the horizon.
