New Wave to Watch

The Atlantic is rather quiet right now; but, we are watching a new wave of "medium storm potential" off the coast of Africa. It's moving west-northwest in our general direction.

Dolly Cat 2 Makes Landfall, Cristobal Gone

Hurricane Dolly made landfall in southern Texas as a Category 2 yesterday. It brought a lot of rain, but less flooding than expected. Cristobal drifted north along the coast without incident. A new area of low formation potential (in yellow) is out there.

Tropical Storms Dolly & Cristobal

There are two tropical storms, but neither is headed in our direction. Tropical Storm Cristobal is going north along the coast of North Carolina. Dolly is headed towards Texas. Betha seems to have moved away.

Bertha finally heading out

Bertha is still here (and a hurricane again), but predicted to head over to Europe soon. In the meanwhile, Tropical Depression #3 has formed off of South Carolina and is heading north. North Carolina is under a tropical storm warning. Also, there are two areas of potential storm development to our south. The red one is moving west northwest.

Bertha long lasting, More Potential Areas

Bertha is only a tropical storm, but she's the longest lasting July storm on record. She formed two weeks ago and continues on and on. Today's map shows us two "medium" probability areas for storm formation to our south. Yesterday's yellow area has dissapated.

Bertha and more!

Bertha hangs on, but what's this? New areas (orange, yellow and red) for potential development! These could become organized storms. Visit the National Hurricane Center for details.

Bertha hangs around, new storm brewing

First expected to miss the island, Hurricane Bertha soon drifted over Bermeuda with 70 MPH winds and rain. The storm continues to meander on, perhaps staying out to sea. Meanwhile, a new tropical disturbance has just been noted. The orange area off the coast of South America has "medium" formation potetional. Stay tuned for more.

Hurricane Bertha a Cat 2 out to sea

Hurricane Bertha is now a category 2 storm and moving further away from land. She might miss the US coast altogether.

Hurricane Bertha a Category 3

As of 4 AM Tuesday, Hurricane Bertha is a Category 3 hurricane. She's taking a sharp turn to the north and is expected to weaken to a tropical storm before approaching land.

Hurricane Bertha Heading North

At 4 PM, Bertha is a category 2 storm and will likely strengthen to a category 3 before weakening over water. The path continues north.

As of 4 AM Monday, Bertha is a category 1 hurricane. She's shifted to the north and we are out of the cone.

Introducing Tropical Storm Bertha

Tropical Storm Bertha was announced today. She's 2,800 miles south east of South Florida and heading west. She's expected to increase to hurricane strength in the next several days and turn to the north. Stay tuned.
