Alexandria saw a little light snowfall last night, but there’s likely more coming this weekend.

The National Weather Service forecast said while it’ll be mostly clear today (see above) there’s a slight chance of snow and rain showers tomorrow morning. That’s expected to continue into tomorrow night, with rain turning to snow after 4 a.m.

Sunday is the real kicker though, with snow likely after 7 a.m. There’s a 60% chance of precipitation throughout the day, with that tapering off Sunday night and the rest of the week ahead — at least through Thursday — looks mostly clear.
