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.
Tropical Storm Bertha is approaching the Texas coast, prompting a Tropical Storm Watch for Galveston and much of the Upper Texas Coast. Forecasts call for sustained winds of 25-35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph and increasing rainfall, especially along the I-10 corridor toward the coast. Officials say impacts are not expected to be widespread, and the storm could bring relief from recent heat, but residents are urged to review hurricane plans, stock supply kits, and prepare for a more active season.
A stalled frontal boundary brings storm risk to Southern Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic on July 22, with a cooling air mass building to the north. Tropical Storm Bertha carries 50 mph winds and a flooding risk near New Orleans today, with potential reemergence toward the Gulf this weekend. In Baltimore, it's around 85°F and partly cloudy, and the 7‑day forecast shows continued storm chances midweek before a brief return to drier, more autumn-like conditions.
Tropical Storm Bertha is approaching the Texas coast with a Tropical Storm Watch extended to Sargent; Houston is not expecting major effects, while the Gulf Coast could see isolated rain, elevated tides, gusty winds, and minor coastal flooding as the storm heads toward a likely landfall in Louisiana later today.
Bertha, the season’s second named storm, strengthened over the Gulf and is forecast to bring tropical-storm conditions from the Florida Panhandle to southeastern Louisiana over the next several days. Forecasters expect heavy rain (2–4 inches, up to 6 inches in isolated spots), potential storm surge up to 4 feet, and flash flooding risks, with tropical storm warnings and watches in effect as the system tracks northwest toward landfall possible in southeast Louisiana midweek.
Forecasters expect Tropical Storm Bertha to form from a Gulf Coast depression, while a central U.S. heat dome drives dangerous heat (indices up to about 116°F) and a cold front could trigger severe thunderstorms with flash floods from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic; wildfire smoke from Canadian fires blankets the Great Lakes region, worsening air quality, and eight flood-related deaths have been reported in Texas, Arizona, and Utah.
Tropical Depression 2 has formed over the northeastern Gulf with a defined center and winds around 30 mph, expected to move northwest and bring scattered storms and gusty winds today. Forecasters say Tropical Storm Bertha is likely to form soon, bringing heavy rainfall to the Northern Gulf coast, with tropical storm watches in effect from Ochlockonee River to the Florida/Alabama border.
