Hang on everyone, this might be a bumpy ride.

9 AM Tuesday Tropical Update
Tropical Storm Bertha remains a lopsided system with wind shear pushing most of the storms over the Gulf waters in the southern half of the circulation, but it is slowly gaining strength as it drifts toward Louisiana

The storm reminds me a lot of “Hurricane” Barry in July 2019. I put hurricane in quotes because it certainly did not look like one. It was highly sheared with most of the storms over the Gulf and eventually made a landfall in Louisiana. We got a little bit of rain out of it here in Southeast Texas. If all goes according to plan, something similar should happen with this one, but we will continue to monitor any changes in the trajectory just in case.

We’ll have a new track and intensity forecast out from the national hurricane Center by 10 AM with their latest thinking, and our team will keep you updated 24/7 as needed throughout this week as we figure out the degree of impacts we will have from Bertha.
