Alexandria will remain under a Flood Warning until 11 a.m. today (Nov. 12), and the National Weather Service is advising caution in flood-prone areas as Tropical Storm Eta peters out across the Atlantic Ocean.
The high temperature today will be 61 degrees, and there is a 90% chance of rain this afternoon, according to Weather.com.
Gale force winds are also expected this weekend.
According to NWS:
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay, Tidal Potomac River, and adjacent counties in central Maryland and northern Virginia as well as the District of Columbia.
DAY ONE…Today and Tonight Flood Warnings remain in effect for parts of the Washington metro area through this morning.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Friday through Wednesday Gale conditions are possible over the waters Sunday night.
Occasional light rain will continue through much of the day mainly east of the Blue Ridge Mountains as a cold front is slow to clear the area. Temperatures will fall through the day from an early morning high in the mid 60s. #DCwx #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx pic.twitter.com/qYyR8fCpL1
