Skies are clear and sunny today, but the National Weather Service is warning that tomorrow night (Friday) and Saturday morning could see snow around the area.
The National Weather Service put out a ‘special weather statement’ for Alexandria and many surrounding localities that accumulating snow is possible Friday night.
According to the alert:
Snow will overspread the area from west to east Friday evening and exit Saturday morning. Generally one to three inches of snow is expected at this time. Localized totals upwards of four or five inches are possible wherever the bands of snow set up.
Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact travel Friday night into Saturday morning.
Fortunately — or unfortunately, for this snow-loving reporter — that snow is forecasted to taper off on Saturday, with only a 20% chance of snow Saturday morning, followed by a sunny Sunday and Monday.
