Alexandria and other parts of the D.C. region will be under a freeze warning overnight into Tuesday.
After temperatures reached as high as 90 this past week, near-freezing conditions are expected in the early morning hours of Tuesday. During a freeze warning, forecasters encourage residents to take precautions to protect vulnerable plants and outdoor plumbing from freezing.
“Expect a warming trend from mid-week onward before unsettled conditions return for the weekend,” the National Weather Service says.
