This is an outlook for what temperatures will be Christmas morning.  With the dark blue representing low 20s,  it is safe to say that if you are going anywhere Christmas morning, you are going to want to bundle up.

Discussion
The cold front responsible for the severe weather we had on Saturday pushed through our area yesterday bringing with it some cold temperatures.  For the first part of this week, we can expect temperatures to stay below 40 as a center of high pressure brings in cold air from our north. As the week progresses, the center of high pressure will begin moving off to our east, which will change the wind direction, thus bringing in slightly warmer air.  This warmer air will cause our high temperature to become warmer, but the temperatures will drop below freezing once the sun goes down.  So bust out those winter coats and fix you up some hot cocoa, because "Baby, It's Cold Outside."
