Tropical storm watch issued for parts of US coast

Tropical Storm Alberto swirled off the South Carolina coast packing maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) on Sunday, a day after becoming the first tropical storm of the 2012 hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center said.
The Miami-based center said Alberto was centered about 105 miles (170 kms) southeast of Charleston, S.C., at 2 a.m. EDT (0600 GMT) and moving toward the southwest near 6 mph (9 kph). It added that a tropical storm watch continued for South Carolina from the Savannah River to the South Santee River.
