9 Tennessee cities, ranked by season

Across Tennessee's 9 listed cities, annual workable days for driveway sealing run from 76 (Franklin) up to 105 (Murfreesboro). Every number comes from NOAA 1991–2020 normals scored against the same label ruleset; every city name links to its live 10-day check.

If one month anchors the Tennessee calendar it's September, the statewide leader in workable days. Use this page to pick the month, then the city page's 10-day strip to pick the days — and the national driveway sealing guide for the physics behind each rule.

The rules behind these numbers

Typical label thresholds for driveway sealing — the single ruleset used by every check on this page.
CheckThresholdWhy it matters
Air temperature 55–90°F, and rising Sealer wants 55°F and rising — pavement must be warm enough to cure the emulsion.
Overnight low ≥50°F during the first 24 h The first 24 hours of cure need overnight lows of 50°F or better.
Dry before ≤0.05" rain in the prior 24 h Asphalt must be fully dry; sealer will not bond to damp pavement.
Dry after <0.05" rain for 36 h after (48 h cool or shaded driveways want 48 h) Most sealers list 24–48 dry hours; this site checks 36.
Evening dew-point spread ≥5°F from 6–11 pm Heavy evening dew can blush an uncured sealcoat.
Daytime humidity ≤85% Water-based sealer dries by evaporation; humid air stalls it.
Wind ≤20 mph (dust and debris in wet sealer up to 28 mph) Strong wind drops leaves and grit into the wet coat.

Always follow your product label — formulas vary. The table above is the typical range across major manufacturers, not a promise about your can.
