Tropical Storm Alberto formed from a low pressure area off the Georgia / South Carolina coast overnight. While the official start of the Atlantic Basin Tropical Storm Season doesn’t begin until June 01, the National Hurricane Center in Miami named this storm because of it’s tropical characteristics. Alberto will follow the Atlantic Coast of the US and will produce gusty winds, heavy pockets of rain with some coastal flooding possible from South Carolina to the Del-Mar-Va area by mid week. Since this storm has very little chance of intensifying, this will be our only post for this Tropical Storm.
