Noontime Check On The Tropics

Tropical Storm Bertha still remains a strong, 70 mph tropical storm north-northeast of Bermuda, moving off into the open waters of the Central Atlantic. It is currently moving north-northeast at 12 mph and is expected to hang around for the next few days, near hurricane strength, before encountering the cooler waters of the North Atlantic and dying out.

A couple of tropical waves also continue to push west toward the Windward Islands. The western wave, around the Lesser Antilles, is not expected to develop, while the wave to its east by about 1000 miles has a moderate chance of development. The good news here is that we have been decreasing the development chances of this system over the past couple of days as the environment has become less favorable for development. We'll watch it!
