Alexandrians traveling for the holiday should be aware the area will likely see some rain this week, but things should clear up on Thanksgiving.
The National Weather Service said rain will likely start on Tuesday after 10 a.m.
According to the forecast:
Rain, mainly after 10am. High near 54. East wind 7 to 12 mph increasing to 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
The forecast calls for rain continuing into the night with temperatures around 48 and high winds.
On Wednesday, there’s a roughly 20% chance for rain before 10 a.m. in the area with partly sunny skies.
Thanksgiving day, however, should be sunny with a high near 55.
Rain could be returning after that, though, with a 40% chance of precipitation throughout Friday.
