Summary
Tropical Storm Bertha is barreling toward the northern Gulf Coast, with southeast Louisiana in its crosshairs. A Tropical Storm Warning covers the Florida Panhandle to the Terrebonne-Lafourche line, while a Watch blankets New Orleans. Brace for 2-4 feet of storm surge near the Mississippi River mouth and 1-3 feet along Lake Pontchartrain. Right now, it’s sweltering — highs in the 90s, heat index near 110 — with a Heat Advisory in effect until 7 PM. But don’t relax: conditions will shift overnight as Bertha closes in. Heaviest rain falls near and south of the track, with 2-4 inches expected by Thursday — up to 6 inches in some spots — risking flash flooding. Bertha weakens Thursday morning as it moves west, with conditions improving east to west through Friday. Lingering moisture may bring scattered storms Friday. Stay alert, stay safe — this storm’s not done yet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
