Scattered rain and storms linger throughout the week
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - Over the course of Monday morning, rain began to spread from the southwest of our area to the northeast-- and thus begins a week of active weather, one West Virginia desperately needs.

While there will be periods of no rain, and perhaps even sunshine, any showers that pop up are likely to be heavy.
