Re: Tropical Storm Bertha Forms South of Cape Verde Islands

Even though the official forecast does not call for Bertha to become a major came within 5 days, I'd be surprised, given the current trend, if that doesn't happen. As far as responding to weaknesses in the ridge, the more I look at some models, the less I understand... because I don't see the weaknesses in the ridge, at least not within the forecast time period (5 days out).
