Re: Hurricane Bertha regaining some strength. Still Moving Northwest

Expect Bertha to be a lot stronger at the 2100z advisory cycle - TNumbers at 1745z this evening were T5.0/5.0 from SSD - corresponding to near 105mph. The satellite presentation has continued to improve since then so it could well be higher. Certainly looks possible that Bertha may be undergoing rapid intensification.
