Tropical Storm Bertha Fuels Flood Threat Across U.S. Southeast
US · Published Jul 24, 2026
Tropical Storm Bertha, now weakened and moving inland near the Texas-Louisiana border, is contributing to a significant flood threat across the U.S.
Southeast.

Impact & Risks

The primary risk is widespread flooding across the Southeast, particularly in areas already saturated by recent rainfall. A Level 3 of 4 flood risk is in place for parts of the Virginia-North Carolina border, while a Level 2 of 4 risk extends from coastal North Carolina to northern Alabama. Urban areas like Atlanta, Birmingham, and Charlotte are at risk of flash flooding due to intense rainfall rates. In Texas, isolated flash flooding is possible, though dry ground conditions may mitigate the threat. Transportation disruptions, including temporary road closures, have already been reported in North Carolina.
