Tropical Storm Bertha weakened but continued a slow westward crawl along the Gulf Coast, with tropical-storm warnings in effect from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana and watches further west. Maximum winds near 50 mph with higher gusts, potential 2–4 foot storm surge from the mouth of the Mississippi to the LA border, and 1–4 inch rain (locally up to 6 inches) are expected as Bertha nears Texas; forecasters say it will likely weaken and could move inland over Texas in about 48 hours, becoming post-tropical thereafter while the hurricane season outlook remains below average.

One area of low pressure in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a 20% chance of development in the next seven days, while the second area, located off the Cabo Verde Islands, also has a 20% chance of development. Slow development is possible for both systems as they move west-northwestward or northwestward across the Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking an area of interest in the Atlantic Ocean, giving it a 30% chance of development in the next seven days.
