DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Bertha was located near latitude 34.4 North, longitude 80.3 West. The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h). A turn toward the north at a faster forward speed is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward the north-northeast on Thursday. On the forecast track, Bertha will move across northern South Carolina this evening and into central North Carolina and southwestern Virginia later tonight. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts, mainly along the coast to the east of the center. Additional weakening is expected, and Bertha is forecast to degenerate to a remnant low pressure area on Thursday. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rain accumulation of 2 to 4 inches with isolated totals of 8 inches across northeastern South Carolina into west central to far southeastern North Carolina and southwest Virginia. Given very saturated antecedent conditions, this rainfall may produce life threatening flash flooding, aggravate and prolong ongoing river flooding, and produce rapid out of bank rises on smaller rivers. WIND: Gusty winds will continue over portions of eastern South Carolina this evening.

Future information on this system can be found in Public Advisories issued by the Weather Prediction Center beginning at 11 PM EDT, under AWIPS header TCPAT2, WMO header WTNT32 KWNH, and on the web at http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov. $$ Forecaster Beven NNNN
