Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 20s.

The Weather Channel has named this winter storm "Luna," not as evocative, perhaps, as last week's storm "Khan." No doubt the name will resonate with Harry Potter fans, but the Weather Channel says Luna was named "for the divine embodiment of the moon in Roman mythology."
