On this West Virginia Morning, West Virginia’s flood risk remains high as state funds remain stuck.

Also in this episode, unusually dry weather this year has caused concerns about low drinking water levels and crop losses. The Allegheny Front’s Julie Grant wanted to see how the drought has affected one of this season’s most popular agricultural products: Christmas trees.
