The remains of Bertha are centered just north of Baton Rouge and appear to be moving slightly south of due west at this time.

The ridge to the northwest and north of the low should force the remains to move more southwesterly with time as the ridge builds more to the southwest.

I expect the remains of Bertha to be in the Houston-Beaumont area by Wednesday morning.

There is an outside chance that the low could move just offshore from the upper Texas coast. However, I would not expect any increase in intensity but a motion as described could
certainly allow the low to stay alive producing heavy rains.
