Wakefield's calling for 1-2 inches here. The way things look right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd have to bump that up a bit.

I was just looking at the 5-day positioning of Alberto. Am I seeing the track going towards Ireland as a tropical storm? :?: :?: If I recall correctly, this happened last year? I bet there like "WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!"

Yep, I was looking at the GFDL and it really deepens this storm once it move off the NC coast. Might be a windy, rainy day for ya'll in the Tidewater.....MGC

My best friend and her husband live in Virginia Beach. I guess they are getting ready to get a pounding of rain. Keeping all of you up there in my prayers that everything is okay.

The heavier rains are in NC, but SE VA is getting a good soaking right now.

In Hampton we had a little less than 2 inches of rain and a few gusts to 30-35 mph as the remnants of Alberto passed south of me and out to sea. Norfolk got over 3 inches of rain and there was some moderate flooding in Norfolk and Va Beach and the surrounding areas. Nothing catastrophic, more annoying than anything.

althought the local utility weather station reported 50mph gust i have not heard of any official reports from anywhere so it may have been a stronger isolated gust but it was certainly windy

When I left for work yesterday afternoon, I was surprised by the amount of limbs down on my street on the way to the main highway. (Hwy 11, I live about 15 miles S of Greenville and work there.)

Alberto certainly left his mark on NC with a ton of rain and some winds thatw eren't bad.The main concern now is that with an already wet may and June that the ground work is down for another year like 99' when the rivers were already high when Floyd hit.The flood stage at greenville for the tar river is 13 feet.It is forcasted to crest at 19 feet and if we get a homegrown storm things could really get very bad so lets all hope for a nice long DRY spell for eastern NC
