Re: Tropical Storm Bertha Forms South of Cape Verde Islands

Another SSMIS microwave overpass, with strong central structure.

It is definitely strengthening - take a look:

SSD also is now listing it at a 3.5. IR and Microwave is showing a strong band to the north, but none south. Outflow is improving in all quadrants, as seen via SSD IR AVN loop.

I would be surprised if we didn't see a hurricane within the next day based on current trends.
