As of 6 PM CDT, Saturday, August 2nd, Tropical Storm Bertha was located over Boca de Yuma in the Dominican Republic; with winds in excess of around 45 MPH; still moving WNW at 22 MPH. According to the NHC and the GFS Models, Bertha should remain off the coasts of the US, however choppy coastal waters across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia can not be ruled out. NHC is predicting that Bertha should become a hurricane by Wednesday at 2 PM.
The "h" I highlighted represents the word Hurricane, and according to NHC it should become a hurricane as I stated before by around 2 PM Wednesday. But it will be in the Atlantic Ocean by that time and Should NOT pose a threat to the US. However any boaters or fishermen in this area need to be alert of this hurricane.
