Tropical Storm Bertha Forms in the Atlantic

Hello to all..

The tropical wave east of the Lesser Antilles intensified Thursday Evening and is now Tropical Storm Bertha with maximum sustained winds of 45 MPH. Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect for Barbados, St Lucia, Dominica, Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culbera, the US and British Virgin Islands. Bertha is expected to maintain tropical storm strength through the next several days. It is currently not expected to become a hurricane but this will be monitored closely. The track brings Bertha into the Northeast Caribbean Sea and then into the Southeast Bahamas before potentially turning more northward and northeastward in 3-5 days.
