- Slow-moving Tropical Storm Bertha is crawling in the northeastern Gulf and could graze or make landfall near southeast Louisiana by Wednesday night, bringing rain and gusty winds from Florida to Louisiana.
- The storm is disorganized and battling wind shear, so its heaviest rain and strongest winds remain mostly offshore — widespread major impacts aren't expected, but tropical storm warnings are up for coastal Alabama, Mississippi and far eastern Louisiana.
- Expect 2–4 inches of rain (locally up to 6"), 2–4 ft storm surge in spots, dangerous rip currents and possible localized flooding or isolated power outages — especially at beaches and low-lying urban areas.
