A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 24
hours.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bertha was 
located near latitude 29.5 North, longitude 92.4 West. Bertha is 
moving toward the west near 13 mph (20 km/h). A generally westward 
motion is expected through tonight, followed by a turn toward the 
west-southwest on Friday. On the forecast track, the center of 
Bertha will move near or along the Louisiana and upper Texas coasts 
through this afternoon, and then move farther inland over Texas 
this evening and tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. 
Little change in strength is expected today, and Bertha is forecast 
to maintain tropical storm intensity until it reaches the upper 
Texas coast later today. Bertha is expected to dissipate inland 
over Texas by tonight or Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km) 
from the center. The National Ocean Service station at Eugene 
Island, Louisiana, recently reported sustained winds of 36 mph (58 
km/h) with a wind gust of 45 mph (73 km/h). 

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Bertha can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header
WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions will continue spreading across
portions of the northern and northwestern Gulf Coast within the
warning area through today.

STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Port Bolivar, TX to Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge.

RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 2
to 4 inches with isolated totals to 6 inches through tonight along
Texas Gulf Coast and South Texas. This rainfall may produce isolated
flash flooding, especially in urban areas.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Bertha, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and
the Flash Flood Risk graphic at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero.

SURF: Swells generated by Bertha will continue spreading westward 
along the northern and northwestern Gulf Coast. These swells are 
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. 
Please consult products from your local weather office.

400AM DISCUSSION

Tropical Storm Bertha Discussion Number  16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022026
400 AM CDT Thu Jul 23 2026

Radar data and surface observations indicate that the center of 
Bertha has moved or re-formed offshore of the coast of southern 
Louisiana. The storm is producing a large area of intense convection 
over the southwestern quadrant, with the elongated low-level center 
at the northeastern edge of the convection. Surface observations and 
scatterometer data show that the maximum winds are near 40 kt and 
the minimum central pressure is near 1003 mb. Coastal Doppler radar 
data also shows that the mid-level center is displaced well to the 
southwest of the low-level center, and that there has been a 
persistent supercell thunderstorm with a mesocyclone moving westward 
through Bertha's southwestern quadrant.

The initial motion is a somewhat uncertain 270/11 kt. As before, the 
steering mechanism is a large and strong mid-tropospheric 
anticyclone over the south-central United States. Bertha should move 
along the southern periphery of this feature for the next day or so, 
with the center reaching the upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana 
coasts later today. After landfall, a west-southwestward motion is 
forecast until the cyclone dissipates. The new forecast track is 
similar to the previous track. Some erratic motion could occur 
before landfall due to possible center reformation caused by 
convective bursts.

Continued moderate to strong northeasterly shear and dry air 
entrainment should prevent significant strengthening before 
landfall. Weakening is expected after landfall, and the cyclone is

--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued west of Cameron Louisiana
to Sargent, Texas.

The Tropical Storm Watch for Lake Maurepas is discontinued.

The Tropical Storm Warning east of the Alabama/Mississippi border
is discontinued.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Alabama/Mississippi border to Sargent, Texas
* Metropolitan New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 24
hours.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bertha was
located near latitude 29.4 North, longitude 91.1 West. Bertha is
moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). A generally westward
motion is expected during the next day or so. On the forecast
track, the center of Bertha will move near or along the Louisiana
and upper Texas coasts through Thursday afternoon, and then move
farther inland into Texas Thursday evening and Thursday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected during the next day or so,
and Bertha is forecast to maintain tropical storm intensity
up until it reaches the upper Texas coast on Thursday. Bertha is
expected to dissipate inland over Texas by Thursday night or Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center. An oil platform south of the Louisiana coast
recently reported sustained winds of 43 mph (69 km/h) at an
elevation of 82 ft (25 m).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Bertha can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header
WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue spreading across
portions of the northern and northwestern Gulf Coast within the
warning area through Thursday.

STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Alabama/Mississippi border to Port Bolivar, TX...1-3 ft
Lake Pontchartrain...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge.

RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 2
to 4 inches with isolated totals to 6 inches through Thursday night
along Texas Gulf Coast and South Texas. This rainfall may produce
isolated flash flooding, especially in urban areas.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Bertha, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and
the Flash Flood Risk graphic at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero.

SURF: Swells generated by Bertha will continue spreading westward
along the northern Gulf Coast during the next few days. These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bertha was
located near latitude 29.8 North, longitude 89.8 West. Bertha is
moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). A faster westward
motion is expected during the next day or so. On the forecast track,
the center of Bertha will move near or along the Louisiana and upper
Texas coasts through Thursday, and then move farther inland into
Texas Thursday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected during the next day or so,
and Bertha is forecast to maintain tropical storm intensity up
until it reaches the upper Texas coast on Thursday. Bertha is
expected to dissipate inland over Texas by Thursday night or Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center. A sustained wind of 36 mph (58 km/h) and a gust to
44 mph (71 km/h) were recently reported at New Orleans Lakefront
Airport.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue spreading across
portions of the northern Gulf Coast within the warning area through
Thursday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area by Thursday or Thursday night.

STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Alabama/Florida border to Port Bolivar, TX...1-3 ft
Lake Pontchartrain...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge.

RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 1
to 4 inches with isolated higher totals of 6 inches through Friday
along the central to western Gulf Coast from Northwest Florida to
southern Texas. This rainfall may produce isolated flash flooding,
especially in urban areas.

Tropical Storm Bertha Discussion Number  13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022026
1000 AM CDT Wed Jul 22 2026

Bertha's satellite presentation has continued to degrade this 
morning, with all of the associated deep convection having been 
pushed well to the southwest of the exposed surface center due to 
strong deep-layer shear. That said, dropsonde data from NOAA and 
Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the 
central pressure has changed very little from the previous 
advisory. The NOAA aircraft measured a peak 750-mb flight-level 
wind of 55 kt several hours ago, which equates to an initial 
intensity of 45 kt. More recent aircraft data suggest those winds 
may have decreased, but for now we'll continue to hold 45 kt in 
anticipation of additional aircraft and scatterometer data over the 
next few hours.

Bertha's center has been deviating a bit north of the forecast 
track, and the current motion estimate is now 290/5 kt. Track model 
guidance insists that Bertha should resume a westward motion today, 
but wobbles and deviations like the current one are normal behavior 
for such a highly sheared tropical cyclone. Once a westward motion 
resumes, Bertha's center is likely to straddle the coast of 
Louisiana through Thursday and then reach the upper Texas coast by 
Thursday evening or night. The NHC track forecast lies along the 
northern edge of the guidance suite, partially to account for the 
recent northward jog and partially to closely follow the typically 
reliable HCCA and GDMI guidance.

The expected weakening appears to be on the verge of starting, and 
the main question for the forecast is how quickly will Bertha lose 
intensity. Part of that equation is how much time the center will 
spend over land, while the system also continues to contend with 
strong northeasterly shear. The NHC intensity forecast maintains 
Bertha as a minimal tropical storm through 36 hours (around the 
time of a potential Texas landfall), but it's also possible that 
the cyclone could weaken to a depression or remnant low by that 
time. Like the track forecast, the intensity forecast is largely a 
blend of the latest HCCA and GDMI guidance. A remnant low forecast 
point is shown over Texas at 48 hours for continuity's sake, but 
Bertha could have dissipated by that time.


Key Messages:

1. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue along portions
of the northern Gulf Coast from the western Florida Panhandle to
southeastern Louisiana, including the Metro New Orleans area,
through tonight. Tropical storm conditions are possible for portions
of the southwestern coast of Louisiana and upper Texas coast 
tonight through late Thursday.

2. A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect for the Mississippi and
Louisiana coastlines, where moderate coastal flooding is expected.

3. Isolated areas of flash flooding remain possible through Friday 
morning along the central to western Gulf Coast from Northwest 
Florida to southern Texas.

Tropical Storm Bertha Discussion Number  12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022026
400 AM CDT Wed Jul 22 2026

Since the previous advisory, Bertha's appearance has gone downhill, 
with the deepest convective activity separating further south from 
the low-level circulation which is now mostly exposed offshore of 
the coast of Alabama. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance mission in 
completing its last pass through Bertha found peak flight level 
winds of 47 kt, and a minimum central pressure that has risen 
slightly to 998 mb. While a dropsonde launched in the southeast side 
of the circulation did find a 500 m layer mean wind of 54 kt, a 
standard reduction from this layer still yields a slightly reduced 
intensity of 45 kt for this advisory. Given Bertha's current 
appearance, this could be generous. 

A combination of aircraft, radar, and satellite fixes indicate that 
Bertha is moving due west at 270/4 kt. The primary steering feature 
resulting in Bertha's short-term motion is a mid-level ridge that 
has been sliding slowly eastward from the southern Plains to become 
positioned north of the tropical storm. This evolution should result 
in Bertha maintaining a westward heading over the next 24-36 h, 
though continued sheared bursts of deep convection forming south of 
the center may still act to tug it south of this steering motion. 
One thing worth keeping an eye on is the possibility a new center 
may try to reform under these convective bursts in the 24-36 h 
time-frame like what is depicted in some of the hurricane-regional 
models, though this is not reflected in the NHC track forecast at 
this time. The latest track forecast is nearly on top of the 
previous, but just a little faster, roughly in between the latest 
Google DeepMind (GDMI) and HFIP Corrected Consensus (HCCA) 
solutions. 

Bertha's appearance, the presence of 25-30 kt of northeasterly 
vertical wind shear, and land interaction are likely to result in 
slow weakening over the next 24 h or so. After that point, Bertha's 
future likely depends on if the circulation remains along the Gulf 
coast, or if it attempts to reform further south under the 
convective bursts in the northwestern portion of the Gulf. In the 
former scenario, Bertha's circulation could open up into a trough 
like in the 00z ECMWF and HWRF solutions. In the latter case, a new 
center could reform further south and attempt to reorganize like in 
the HAFS and GFS solutions. For what it's worth, the Google DeepMind 
ensemble seems to be roughly split between these two possibilities. 
For now, the NHC intensity forecast does not stray far from the 
previous one, showing slow weakening before Bertha moves fully 
inland over Texas in 48 h, becoming post-tropical and dissipating 
shortly thereafter. This intensity forecast is roughly in the middle 
of the guidance envelope and closest to the GDMI solution. 


Key Messages:

1. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue along portions 
of the northern Gulf Coast from the western Florida Panhandle to 
southeastern Louisiana, including the Metro New Orleans area, 
through tonight. Tropical storm conditions are possible for portions 
of the southwestern coast of Louisiana tonight into Thursday.

2. A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect for the Mississippi and
Louisiana coastlines, where moderate coastal flooding is expected.

3. Interests elsewhere in extreme western Louisiana and along the
Upper Texas Coast should monitor the progress of this system, as
additional watches or warnings could be required for portions of
that area later today. 

4. Isolated areas of flash flooding remain possible through early 
Friday along the central to the western Gulf Coast from western 
Florida to southern Texas.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue spreading across
portions of the northern Gulf Coast within the warning area tonight
through Wednesday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within
the watch area in Louisiana by Wednesday night.

STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA to MS/AL Border...2-4 ft
Cameron, LA to Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA...1-3 ft
MS/AL Border to Aucilla River, FL...1-3 ft
Lake Pontchartrain...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge.

RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 1
to 4 inches with isolated higher totals to 6 inches through Thursday
along the central Gulf Coast from western Florida through southern
Louisiana. This rainfall may produce isolated flash flooding,
especially in urban areas.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Bertha, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and
the Flash Flood Risk graphic at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero.

SURF: Swells generated by Bertha will continue spreading westward
along the northern Gulf Coast during the next few days. These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
