ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Dig out the warm jacket. Friday is gray, gusty, and 51 degrees, and the weekend behind it is the first real cold snap of the season: sunny both days, highs barely past 50 degrees, nights in the mid-30s. Good weather for a walk, a hearing or a soccer game, as long as you’re dressed for it.

Saturday carries the weight. City Council hears the three Russell Road appeals at 9:30 a.m. at Del Pepper, its first vote on the project after a summer and fall of hearings, and adopts its wish list for Richmond the same morning. Free shredding runs 9 to noon at Hensley Park. The Spirit host Utah at noon at Audi Field, one win from a third straight NWSL final. And at 5 p.m., Bright Nights opens at Cameron Run for what NOVA Parks says is its last season before the water park closes next fall.

The Titans aren’t done: football at West Potomac Friday at 7 p.m., and the 11-0 girls flag football team meets West Potomac on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Robinson. Scouts pick up food donations from the curb Saturday morning, Pumpkin Rescue continues at every farmers market, and the Alexandria Film Festival runs all three days.

Here’s a look at everything on the calendar this weekend; enjoy!
