A RAINY NIGHT IN VIRGINIA

Well we have had a pretty steady rain here in CH overnight and it is still raining this morning. There is about a 60% chance of rain this morning before this system clears out of the area later today. Down on the OBX they have a heavy surf advisory in effect today, the ocean had been pretty angry all week with those tropical systems out in the Atlantic Ocean. Most NHL teams open there training camps either today or Friday and that means hockey is just around the corner, the preseason games start Tuesday for some teams. There is one college football game of note tonight, Maryland 2-0 plays at West Virginia 2-0, neither team has played a tough game yet and West Virginia is favored by 17 points.
