Tonight, isolated severe thunderstorms are expected to roll through Alexandria, but the National Weather Service (NWS) said the real threat is severe winds.
Alexandria and much of the rest of the region have been placed on a hazardous warning outlook today (Friday).
“Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into the early evening,” NWS said. “The primary threat is damaging wind gusts.”
On the brighter side, no hazardous weather is expected for the rest of the weekend.
Damaging wind gusts mean Alexandrians should prepare for the possibility of power outages — though Dominion has been upgrading some of its infrastructure to be more resilient.
Undergrounding power lines would prevent damage from winds, and around 89% of ALXnow readers said they want Dominion to step up its undergrounding efforts, but Dominion has previously said undergrounding more power lines would be prohibitively expensive.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, you’re supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
