Tropical Outlook
Our old friend, Bertha, has made it back up to hurricane status with 75 mph winds, but will be severely weakened before it reaches Iceland, possibly on Monday. [Tropical storms in Iceland, but don’t forget: Al Gore is overweight.]
Tropical Depression Three has formed off the coast of South Carolina and may bring heavy rains and gusty winds to the coastal region of North Carolina before heading out to sea. The sea temperature, shear winds, and dry air over land argue against much strengthening in the near term, nor an inland spread of rains that would help the interior of North Carolina.
The underachieving Invest 94L might make it to tropical status before it smacks into the Yucatan. Whatever’s left will head towards the Texas-Mexico boarder area.
