Centre is becoming exposed on IR. If this continues, it's not going to be a hurricane at the next advisory.

Latest trend is showing a bit better shear environment than earlier.

Wow,only a few hours passed and everthing changed.Early this morning I saw a healthy system,now is a wimpy one and moving more north than what was forecast yesterday and last night.Its like a boxer that threw a surprise uppercut that leaved the other boxer lost and perplexed.

But commenting on what transpired duruing the very active part of Bertha in the board,I think it was a smooth one with only some minor exceptions but overall all runned fine.Now lets wait for Cristobal.

Near 30N shear eases off again but given how hard the shear is hitting Bertha there may not be much left of bertha by the time it gets there.

Assuming the GFS 12Z run is correct, we have another week of Bertha wandering around the open Atlantic.


It isn't as healthy as it was earlier, but it may not die anytime soon.

Welcome to S2K.

Usually one storm doesn't define a season. If you took Andrew or Allen, for example, you would have expected much more active seasons, but 1992 and 1980 were not record-breaking season in general. Still, the formation of Bertha indicates that the train of tropical waves is healthy and SST in front of the African coast are warm enough to support the formation of a TC. Usually what delays the beginning of the Cape Verde Season are the cool SST.

July Cape Verde TCs usually mean an active CV season

Just look at 1989 and 1996 as examples

Didn't those years have a persistent East Coast trough?

Dr. Gene Norman, the MIT educated replacement for Dr. Neil Frank on KHOU-TV 11, said last night that his analysis of years with July hurricanes since 1995 indicate an average of almost 16 named storms in a season, and considering what a dud 1997 turned out to be after a busy June and July, the rest of those seasons must have been impressive.

but 1997's 2 July hurricanes did not come from tropical waves
