Tropical Storm Alberto was a tropical system of the 1988 hurricane season in the North Atlantic Ocean, which became a tropical cyclone as it moved along the east coast of the United States. Alberto formed from a tropical wave that developed off the coast of South Carolina, USA, on August 5, 1988,[1][2] and gradually moved northeastward in the Atlantic Ocean, becoming a tropical cyclone on August 7 about 95 km east of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.[2] Alberto continued its trajectory, heading towards Nova Scotia late on August 7. It became extratropical the following day, dissipating shortly after reaching Newfoundland, Canada. Varied amounts of rain and strong gusts of wind were reported during its passage, with no damage to people or property.[3]
