Tropical Depression Two expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Bertha
FOX Weather • • general
Key Points:
- Tropical Depression Two formed in the eastern Gulf of America and is expected to bring several days of heavy rainfall to parts of the Southeast.
- The system is likely to strengthen into Tropical Storm Bertha within the next day as it organizes and central pressure drops.
- Warm Gulf waters are fueling the storm's development, but upper-level winds from the northeast may limit its intensity and keep the heaviest rain offshore.
- Computer models predict the storm will move into the northeastern Gulf by Monday, with potential impacts shifting west toward Louisiana and Texas if it strengthens.
- Despite the potential for heavy rain, current conditions suggest the storm will not develop strong winds, but monitoring will continue through mid-next week.
