Re: Bertha Vortex Message

Well Bertha has done it again, and according to the intermediate advisory, has stalled again! The slow motion has been her downfall, as upper-level conditions have been somewhat favourable. However, the combination of an ERC that never really finished, and the upwelling caused by her lack of motion, has led to her weakening. Satellite imagery shows a well defined sytem, with a vigorous circulation, but not much in the way of deep and strong convection. Still, should be a good rainmaker for Bermuda, which they need at the moment as the island is in the grip of a pretty severe water shortage!
