Hurricane Bertha is now back to Tropical Storm status, about 175 miles southeast of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of about 65 mph. She is moving northwest about at 2 mph. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Bermuda... for us, we are still looking at the High Risk of Rip Currents at the beach.
We are also looking at another Tropical Wave that has potential to become a tropical depression over the next couple of days.
Here is the discussion from the National Hurricane Center on that wave:
"A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE AND SURFACE LOW...IS LOCATED OVER THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN ABOUT 1550 MILES EAST OF THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. THIS SYSTEM HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE DAY...AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE WAVE MOVES GENERALLY WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
