KEY MESSAGES

* Dry and mild weather with cold mornings will prevail through Thanksgiving.

* Morning inversions will produce hazy skies and reductions in air quality for lower urban valleys through midweek.

* It is increasingly likely that cooler, unsettled weather returns this weekend into early next week.

DISCUSSION

Pre-holiday travel and Thanksgiving itself will be met with dry, quiescent weather and mild daytime temperatures as broad high pressure overspreads the region this week. It'll still be cold in the late evenings and early mornings each day this week as temperatures fall into the 20s and 30s -- perhaps the teens for cold- prone valleys. Skies will likely be hazy across urban valleys each morning when stout inversions exist, but peak afternoon heating should help dilute haze and any subsequent reductions in air quality.

Weak low pressure will quickly pass by the Pacific Northwest states on the holiday, which should mitigate haze and any air quality degradations towards the end of the week. The passing low will also likely increase cloud cover for the holiday, but temperatures will be rather pleasant with daytime highs in the 50s and 60s.

A change in the weather pattern may usher in a period of cooler, more unsettled conditions this weekend into early next week. Colder, slider-type systems are still favored with this pattern shift, but confidence is low on timing and impact details. Be sure to check back with the latest forecast as details become more clear.

AVIATION

High pressure will maintain VFR conditions and light winds through the holiday. Patchy FZFG may induce IFR/LIFR conditions at KTRK Tuesday morning. Hazy skies from valley inversions may reduce slantwise visibilities through midweek.
