Tennessee — The soft hum of traffic rolls under misty skies in Nashville this morning, as showers fade and patchy fog forms across the city. Damp roads glisten under streetlights — a typical late-November scene as travelers begin early Thanksgiving trips across I-40 and I-65.
The National Weather Service in Nashville reports light showers tapering off through dawn, leaving behind mild air and gradual clearing by midday. Temperatures rise near 68°F, a warm contrast to the crisp days expected later this week. By Sunday, skies turn bright and sunny, offering a perfect window for holiday travel or outdoor plans.
A quiet stretch continues into Monday, with highs in the upper 60s and light southerly winds. But by late Monday night and Tuesday, another round of scattered showers develops as Gulf moisture lifts north again — a reminder that this season’s weather can still shift quickly.
Looking beyond the state, meteorologists are tracking a major cold front expected to sweep across the central and eastern U.S. between Thanksgiving Day and December 3, bringing below-normal temperatures and possible heavy snow to portions of the Midwest and Northeast. Tennessee will likely stay on the mild side through the holiday, though cooler air may reach the state late next weekend.

- Today: Showers early, clearing later. High 68°F.
- Sunday: Sunny, high 65°F.
- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 68°F.
