Well Bertha is here so what next. Bertha will be a problem for several days along the Gulf coast. As for the next one off the southeast atlantic coast we may even have more to worry about. Upper air over the southeast US should bring a strong ridge in over the next 3-4 days allowing this system to move s-sw over time. Though some models still move this system as a Hurricane s-se to e to ne as a 95 mph storm there is some doubt about this as it may take a more s-sw-w movement into the Gulf over the next 4-6 days. So we need to watch this system and forecasts to make sure we don't get surprised.
