Nashville, TN – A blanket of fog settled over Middle Tennessee early this morning, softening the city skyline and slowing traffic along I-24 and I-65. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory through 10 a.m., warning of visibility below a quarter mile in several counties. Drivers are urged to use low beams and allow extra travel time as Thanksgiving week travel begins.

The haze will give way to scattered showers later today, adding slick pavement to the mix for commuters and travelers heading out early for the holiday. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, isolated thunderstorms could develop Tuesday as mild, humid air lifts temperatures into the low 70s—an unusually warm setup before a cold front sweeps through midweek.

By Wednesday, sunshine returns with highs in the mid-50s, followed by a crisp, calm Thanksgiving Day across Middle Tennessee. Highs near 48°F and lows dipping into the upper 20s will bring a seasonal chill for holiday parades, outdoor gatherings, and early travel.

While no snow is expected this week, the upcoming pattern hints at a cooler stretch beyond Thanksgiving weekend—a reminder that winter’s first frost isn’t far off. For now, travelers can expect clear skies and smooth conditions heading home after Thursday’s feast.

5-Day Outlook:

  • Tuesday: Showers, 72°F.
  • Wednesday: Sunny, 55°F.
  • Thanksgiving Day: Sunny, 48°F.
  • Friday: Mostly sunny, 47°F.
  • Saturday–Sunday: Scattered showers, highs in low 50s.
