Tennessee — Early light spills across Middle Tennessee this morning, painting a faint silver glow on damp rooftops as a soft breeze drifts through neighborhoods south of I-24. The air feels mild, almost warm for mid-November, and a few streaks of cloud drift eastward, hinting at the developing pattern ahead. Leaves rustle lightly across driveways, and conditions stay calm for anyone preparing for an early start or mapping out upcoming Thanksgiving travel.

Today brings partly sunny skies and highs climbing into the upper 70s, a striking contrast to typical November chill. Southwest winds increase through midday, and gusts could reach 25–30 mph along exposed stretches of I-65 and I-40. Residents planning errands or outdoor work should take advantage of this warm window, because a noticeable change approaches early this week.

Sunday offers more comfortable weather, topping out near 65°F, before skies clear late. Calm winds briefly return Sunday night, and cool air settles in, offering a crisp early-November feel. That quiet period sets the stage for Monday’s atmospheric shift: sunshine dominates early, but moisture and instability build from the southwest by evening.

By Monday night, a 30–40% chance of showers develops, with thunderstorms possible as warm air surges north. Travel conditions may slow late Monday, particularly for flights or evening commuters. While temperatures stay well above freezing, this marks an important “Winter Tease”—a sign that colder systems may follow deeper into November.

Tuesday brings the most impactful weather of the week, with a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Gusty winds and pockets of heavy downpours could complicate early holiday travel across Middle Tennessee, especially along I-24 and I-40. No snow or ice is expected, but rapid changes remain possible.
