Beach weather looks less than ideal for Memorial Day weekend

Showers, storms are likely, especially by Memorial Day

ROANOKE, Va. – Alberto has formed off the Yucatan Peninsula and is poised to make landfall as a tropical storm late Sunday between the Florida Panhandle and Louisiana. Nonetheless, rain and strong winds will extend into parts of Florida. 

Most of us, however, have interests in places like Myrtle, Wrightsville and Virginia Beach. We can tell you that most showers/storms are hit or miss on Saturday. As moisture increases from Alberto, however, rain chances will go up for each vacation spot. This is especially the case by Memorial Day.
