Tennessee Weather 3/9 Morning - Dense Fog Advisory

Good morning. Tennessee. I'm Michael Mosby. That fog outside your window? It's thick enough to hide your neighbor's house. We're sitting at 48 degrees statewide with visibility down to a quarter mile in spots. Dense Fog Advisory until 10 A.M. Across Middle and East Tennessee. Slow down and flip those headlights on. Once the fog burns off, here's where things split. West Tennessee gets the stormiest ride today. Thunderstorms fire up around 10 A.M. and stick around until 8 P.M., peaking hard around 3 P.M. With an a chance. Memphis climbs to 75 degrees between the rumbles. Middle Tennessee plays it cooler. Nashville warms to 77 degrees under partly sunny skies this afternoon, then scattered storms roll in after 5 P.M. East Tennessee? You win today. Knoxville hits 75 degrees with mostly sunny skies once that morning fog clears out. Tonight brings scattered storms statewide. Lows hold in the low 60s — that's unusually mild for early March. West Tennessee actually warms overnight, climbing to 68 degrees by sunrise. Tuesday cranks the heat. Highs push upper 70s to around 80 degrees — we're flirting with record territory. Morning showers taper off, then mostly cloudy skies take over before another round of storms Tuesday night. Wednesday is the big show. A strong cold front sweeps through with widespread storms. Some could turn severe in western counties — damaging winds and heavy rain are the main threats. Highs hit 80 degrees before the front crashes through. Thursday? Total flip. Highs struggle to the mid-50s with gusty northwest winds. Rain showers linger early, possibly mixing with light snow in the higher elevations. Then we dry out through the weekend, rebounding to the low 70s by Sunday. See you this afternoon.
