Tropical Storm Bertha Fuels East Coast Flood Threat as It Nears Texas Landfall

Tropical Storm Bertha Fuels East Coast Flood Threat as It Nears Texas Landfall

Tropical Storm Bertha, currently centered near the southwest Louisiana coast with sustained winds of 45 mph, is expected to make its final landfall on the upper Texas Gulf Coast late Thursday before dissipating over Texas by Friday. While Bertha's direct impacts include tropical storm-force wind gusts and rainfall along the Texas and Louisiana coastlines, its moisture plume is fueling a significant flood threat across the southeastern United States. Heavy rainfall linked to Bertha is interacting with a slow-moving cold front, producing flash flood warnings in southeast Virginia, eastern North Carolina, and eastern Tennessee.
