Moisture returns to the Mountain State today as Tropical Storm
Alberto, 150 miles off the coast of Myrtle Beach combines with low
pressure spreading eastward tonight through the first half of the work
week. Alberto will move northeastward, grazing the Outer Banks today
and tomorrow. Increasing cloud coverage, drizzle and scattered rain
showers will be tossed as far west as our Eastern Panhandle tonight &
Tuesday.

Rain showers and meager thunderstorms are also expected across West
Virginia tonight & Tuesday as this cold front
stalls overhead. Leftover rain showers are possible Wednesday
morning. Things will gradually dry out as high pressure builds in our
vicinity later on Wednesday. We'll be left with mainly sunny and dry
conditions towards the end of the work week. A slow warming trend is
expected through this week with highs reaching the mid & upper 80s by
the weekend.
