It’s been a hot few days in Alexandria, and it doesn’t seem to be cooling down soon.

This weekend, the Portside Festival was canceled due to the extreme heat. The region hit 100 degree temperatures  over the weekend.

While that’s likely the peak of the heat wave, it’s expected to go up to 97 degrees again on Wednesday.
