To become a hurricane, Bertha needs maximum sustained winds of 74 mph! Not to far off, especially since her winds have strengthened 10 mph in the past day. With that said, Bertha may be the first hurricane of our 2008 Atlantic Hurricane season.

Tropical Storm Bertha... or Hurricane Bertha?
Tropical Storm Bertha was located about 1,055 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Bertha is moving west-northwest at about 20 mph with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph, with higher gusts and a minimum central pressure of 998 millibars. At this point it is too soon to tell if Bertha will affect any land areas, however she may become a hurricane over the next couple of days.
