ALEXANDRIA, Va. — High tides will bring familiar flooding to Old Town Alexandria Friday and Saturday.

The National Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Service says this flooding is not from the inches of rain the region has seen over the past few days; rather, by a weather system pushing water up and into the Potomac River.

Meteorologist Howard Silverman described the flooding as “at least minor,” with water rising a couple of feet above normal.

High tides in Alexandria are at 8:14 a.m. and 8:35 p.m. Friday, and at 8:56 a.m. and 9:14 p.m. Saturday.

Flooding is expected at each high tide both days, Silverman said.
