NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Thick fog drapes the Cumberland River and Nashville’s skyline this morning, blurring headlights and traffic lights across the metro. With visibility dropping below a quarter-mile in places, travel conditions are dangerous across Middle Tennessee through the early commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. CST for all of Middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties. Drivers on I-40, I-24, and I-65 should expect extremely low visibility, especially in rural valleys and near waterways. The NWS urges caution — slow down, keep headlights on, and leave extra space between vehicles.
Once the fog lifts, sunshine will dominate through midweek. Highs rise into the 60s Monday afternoon, climbing to the low 70s by Wednesday under mostly clear skies. Winds remain light, and no rain is expected before Friday, giving residents a window of calm fall weather ideal for travel, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating.
By late week, a weak front could bring a few showers to western counties, but temperatures will stay above normal for early November. Long-range trends hint that cooler, wetter weather may return closer to Veterans Day, signaling the region’s transition toward winter.
For now, Middle Tennessee sits in a mild pattern — a foggy start giving way to bright, comfortable afternoons — but drivers should remain cautious through the dense morning haze before conditions improve after 9 a.m.
