Re: Tropical Storm Bertha in Western Atlantic
What about the records she has set? Longest running system in July, furthest East a system has formed in July. Also reaching Cat. 3 in July. I know other storms have reached Cat. 3 in July but not many.

Certainly as extratropical systems yes. However according to the BT this has some way to go to be the most northerly a tropical system has gone.

If 94L is named before then, we will have 3 active storms.
Probably not to be then, because I think they'll wait on recon to name Dolly. It has looked good on satellite before and not had a circulation.
The wave as big as Alaska probably doesn't get a name before Cristobal goes ET.
Still, Bertha for the majority of the month, and possibly 4 named storms through the month of July, this could be a year like 2005, except, hopefully, no devastating hurricane strike on a major coastal city, and I'd assume no use of the Greek alphabet to name storms.

The question is, where is the centre? If it's near 50N 37W it could still be alive. Anywhere else and that would mean no convection over the centre, and an XTT storm.
Good call!

They also ran SHIPS, which suggests they're keeping Bertha alive.

You don't retire tropical cyclone names because of how long-lasting or record-breaking they are, unless they break the record for number of people killed.

Well that's not exactly true. Ioke was retired, but didn't kill anybody.

To be fair, that's the Central Pacific. They don't get a chance to retire a name very often.

Re: Tropical Storm Bertha in Western Atlantic
Well Bertha I know is responsible for at least one death in New Jersey (drowning by rip tide), haven't heard of any others, but there could be others.

There were 3 deaths, all off of New Jersey from rip currents.
