Good Morning!  What a holiday treat!  It’s an absolutely phenomenal Christmas Day forecast.  It’s not only a storm-free/Dry forecast.  Much above normal temperatures start today.  Highs well into the 70’s are expected through Sunday. But, hang on cold weather fans.  An approaching cold front will bring scattered showers by Sunday PM, followed by a major Arctic plunge.  Monday & Tuesday will be in the 40’s.  Tuesday and Wednesday morning looks bitterly cold.  A complete change of wardrobe.  Here’s my brief video Forecast Discussion.
