Tropical Storm Bertha Weakens into a Trough, Final Impacts Felt in Texas
US · Published Jul 24, 2026
Tropical Storm Bertha, the second named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, has officially weakened into a trough of low pressure.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued its final advisory as the storm dissipated over Texas.

Impact & Risks

The remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha are primarily impacting South Texas, where 1 to 3 inches (25 to 76 mm) of rainfall is expected, with isolated totals of up to 4 inches (102 mm). This could lead to localized flash flooding, especially in urban areas. Coastal regions in Louisiana and Texas may experience elevated water levels and swells through the next high tide cycle. While no tropical storm warnings or watches are currently in effect, the risk of flash flooding remains a concern for residents in affected areas. The storm's weakening has reduced the likelihood of significant wind damage.
