Clarksville, TN – Morning fog curls across Tennessee’s valleys, dimming headlights along I-65 and country roads near Nashville. The quiet calm of early November won’t last long — a late-week front is building, ready to bring Friday storms and a weekend cooldown.
Through Thursday, sunshine dominates Middle Tennessee, pushing highs into the upper 60s and low 70s. Winds remain light early, turning southerly midweek as humidity slowly builds. These next few days offer ideal travel, outdoor cleanup, and early holiday prep weather, with crisp air and golden sunlight stretching from the Cumberland Plateau to the western counties.
By late Thursday, however, clouds begin to gather. Models continue to signal a Friday system with showers and possible thunderstorms, especially from Nashville south toward Columbia and Pulaski. Rain chances rise through the day, and gusty winds could develop along the boundary. Travelers on I-40 and I-24 should prepare for slower conditions and brief downpours during the midday and evening commute.
Once the front passes, cooler air spills in behind it. Saturday turns sunny but breezy, with highs dipping back near 70°F — a noticeable shift from the week’s warmth. By Sunday, lows drop into the 30s and 40s, adding a touch of late-fall chill just ahead of Veterans Day observances.
Looking ahead, another stronger cold front may follow next week, possibly bringing Tennessee’s first real taste of winter air as Thanksgiving season approaches.
For now, enjoy the calm before Friday’s changes — bright, dry, and mild — the kind of fall stretch made for morning coffee on the porch and evening walks under clear skies.
