Bertha fades to trough as Texas braces for rain and floods
Bertha weakened to a trough and dissipated after the National Hurricane Center’s final advisory. With winds around 35 mph, its remnants are expected to drop 1–3 inches of rain (isolated up to 4) across South Texas, posing flash flood risk, while coastal water levels stay elevated through the next high tide and a potential storm surge remains possible.
