TC Bertha

[gatorcane]

This image shows a nice ridge building over Bertha. I think that is why she is moving WNW now (its the light gray shaded area just north of Bertha). Seems like the ridge is building W somewhat to me but I could be wrong (I noticed the ULL WNW of Bertha is also getting pushed West also).

Anyone tell me why the large lag time (almost 10 hrs) between latest sat pics and loop on NHC site?

I can't tell you why. The loops appear to be broken but latest images are still updating.

Southern side of the system looks abit of a mess Hurakan but its still got a decent enough shape to it I think.
gatorcane, the models dsid show the Bermuda high drifting eastwards and though weakneing it may be enough to bend Bertha back to the WNW for a short time, esp given we now have a weaker Bertha than before.
Just going to have to keep a close eye on where it goes.

This loop shows new convection over the center. Bertha is trying to make a stand.

According to

Shear is now down below 15kts and possibly lower. Looks like a similar setup to yesterday so I wonder if Bertha will intensify again ... and how fast.

[SkyDragon]

Look at this!

[cpdaman]

should she intensify this evening she would regain the NW motion right? she is not west of influence of the tutt or free from that blocking high to the nw that wxman had on his map earlier is she?

I'm thinking she will bottom out around 65-70 kt then get back over 100 kt tomorrow.

SHe has turned WNW, but the GFS forecasted this and still takes it out to sea
