Hurricane Bertha Info. 2008

Here is some info


Hurricane Bertha

On July 3, a tropical wave (a migratory, wavelike disturbance of the tropical easterlies) off the western coast of Africa strengthened into a circular pattern of intensifying clouds, forming Tropical Storm Bertha. This natural-color image, obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite shows Bertha in its early stages, south of the Cape Verde Islands. Storms that form in this region are known as Cape Verde storms, and they typically are first observed forming in August or September, though a Cape Verde storm as early as July is not particularly unusual.

The storm system shows the nascent spiraling shape of a developing cyclone. Within days, Tropical Storm Bertha was halfway across the Atlantic Ocean, intensifying to become a hurricane as it traveled over warm ocean waters. According to the National Hurricane Center, as of July 8, Bertha was a Category 2 strength hurricane, having peaked earlier at Category 3. Forecasts at that time showed Bertha arcing northward towards Bermuda, though forecasters were not expecting the hurricane to directly cross the island.

Bertha was the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic storm season. Usually, the first hurricane of a season forms by mid-August; in 2007, the first hurricane was Dean, which formed on August 16. However, it is not unprecedented to have a first hurricane this early in the season. In 1996, another storm formed to become a hurricane on July 7. It, too, was named Bertha. Unless they are retired, storm names are reused every six years.

More Info

As of 11:00 a.m. EDT, Hurricane Bertha was located near 24.2 north and 57.5 west, or about 715 miles southeast of Bermuda. Bertha is moving west-northwest at 12 mph, and maximum-sustained winds remain at 75 mph with higher gusts.

Bertha continues to be guided by a strong Atlantic high pressure area that extends from near Bermuda to the Azores. An upper-level trough of lower pressure is causing a wind flow from southwest to northeast in the path of Bertha. This has caused Bertha to move on a more northwesterly course and has also caused stronger shear over the hurricane. The good news for Bertha is that the western portions of circulation indicate the shear may be weakening. This could give the storm a modest increase in strength over the next day or so. The storm will continue on its northwest path, at least through Friday when it could make a turn to the north.

Across the rest of the Atlantic Basin we are monitoring tropical waves along 93 west and along 52 west. Both are moving westerly at about 8 degrees longitude per day. We see no support for tropical development with either tropical wave. A large area of disturbed weather over western Africa will become the next tropical wave to emerge off that continent into the western Atlantic sometime tomorrow or Thursday.

Yes this is a Tropical Depression. This will build up to a catergory 5 hurricane. That what the bbc news said. And Sky News. It might have said that on fox news as well.
