Alexandria likely won’t hit the 100 degree high of this past weekend, but the National Weather Service said locals should still expect high temperatures over the next few days.

The forecast today (Monday) puts the high at 89 degrees, but tomorrow (Tuesday) that’s forecast to go up to 92 degrees on Tuesday.

The high this week, though, will be on Wednesday, when temperatures are expected to hit 97 degrees. There is also a 60% chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday continuing into that night.

Thursday and Friday will likely be a little lighter, at 87 and 86 degree highs respectively, but the region could be in for another hot weekend as Saturday temperatures tick back up to 92 degrees.
