SEATTLE - With no rain over the weekend or so far this week, we have officially made it over 8 days without rain in Seattle. Looking at past records, dry streaks in Seattle during January are not super common, but the longest stretch was 15 days in 1963. Last year though, we did have 13 days of no rain in January.
After no rain so far this week, we have officially made it over 8 days with zero rain in Seattle.
High pressure remains overhead through this week, bringing continued dry skies and sunshine. We will see more foggy mornings along with frost. Stagnant air continues also as no major mixing is happening with these calm skies.

What is radiation fog?
FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone explains what radiational fog is.
The fog western Washington experienced Wednesday morning is what is known as radiation fog.
"The ingredients for this include clear skies, low level moisture and calm winds to prevent the atmosphere from mixing up," said Meteorologist Abby Acone. "It's very common when we have a lid of high pressure over us because it gives way to sinking air."
What's next:
Futurecast shows a few clouds and fog for western Washington through mid morning. Skies will clear into the afternoon.
Another foggy start for Western Washington with clouds through midmorning.
High temperatures Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 40s, right around seasonal average for this time of year.
After foggy weather for some in the morning, sparkling sunshine will follow around Seattle this afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Temperatures will get a little cooler heading into the weekend with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s. Skies are looking drier for the Seahawks Game Sunday with temperatures in the 40s.
