Tropical Storm Debby to bring rain to the region beginning Thursday afternoon

CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Tropical Storm Debby is expected to bring showers and storms to the Mid-Atlantic states, including our region, through the end of the week.

The National Weather Service in Charleston predicts the heaviest rainfall will occur east of I-79, and east of I-64 south of Charleston, starting this afternoon and continuing into Friday.
