Seattle put on quite a show when President Obama arrived

at Sea-Tac Airport Sunday evening with a brilliant sky highlighting a setting-sun-kissed Mt. Rainier. What to do for an encore? How about an unusual "fog bow" for his departure?

QUIET WEATHER FOR THANKSGIVING TRAVEL ACROSS NORTHWEST

Benign weather will continue through much of the upcoming Thanksgiving week. A strong ridge of high pressure will deflect any potential weather makers (at least the one's that would bring us precipitation) to the north and south of the Inland Northwest. This same ridge will also keep strong temperature inversions in place. With very little air movement expected the Air Stagnation Advisory remains in effect. The ridge will eventually get suppressed, opening the door for a potentially more significant weather system later this weekend into next week.

The Chanukah-Thanksgiving Weather Miracle

The last time it occurred was 1888 and the next occurrence won't be for 77,000 years:  Chanukah and Thanksgiving will occur on the same day, called Thanksgivukkah by some.

7 DAY WEATHER EXPLAINER

MORE OF THE SAME ALL WEEK

Strengthening High Pressure will keep conditions cold & dry with calm winds for the coming week. The coldest morning temperatures should continue to drop to the 20s with afternoon high temperatures in the 40s. The inversion (a layer of warm air trapping cold air near the ground) means that the air will continue to stagnate and pollutants will build each day until a brisk wind arrives to scour it out of the valleys.  This doesn’t look likely until Friday.

A weak system Tuesday will not stir the wind enough to resolve the issue.  By Friday, the high pressure finally weakens enough to allow a front to approach from the north.  This front will stay parked over Northern Washington & Idaho sending enough moisture to prohibit fog formation and send in clouds.  At this point, it looks like it will be Monday before the atmosphere moistens enough for a chance of rain.
