Good Monday morning, Alexandria!
☀️ Today’s weather: Expect a sunny day with highs near 46, and a northwest wind of 5 to 9 mph transitioning to a light west wind in the afternoon. Monday night brings increasing clouds and lows around 34, alongside calm winds which will turn southeast at around 6 mph after midnight.
🚨 You need to know
The big winter storm talked up last week turned out to be kind of a dud around Alexandria this weekend, but another storm could be rolling into the region sometime this week.
Unfortunately, the forecast isn’t calling for snow this time around.
The forecast calls for rain starting sometime tomorrow, with a 100% chance of precipitation. A flood watch is in effect for 1 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) through 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service said a coastal flood watch is also in effect for the same timeframe, meaning flooding is likely along the Old Town waterfront.

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.
