Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1102 PM EDT Wed Jul 22 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Bertha is along the Louisiana coast 
near 29.4N 91.1W, or about 35 nm southwest of New Orleans,
Louisiana at 11 PM EDT. It is moving westward at 10 kt. Maximum 
sustained winds are 40 kt with gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum 
central pressure is 1002 mb. Bertha will move to near 29.2N 92.8W
Thu morning, move inland to near 29.1N 95.6W Thu evening, then
weaken to a remnant low near 29.0N 98.3W Fri morning, and 
dissipate Fri evening. In the wake of Bertha, a high pressure
center will become established over the NE Gulf through Fri before 
it shifts to the central Gulf afterward. The high pressure will 
provide for a light to gentle wind flow across the basin, except 
for pulsing moderate to fresh winds off the Yucatan Peninsula and 
near NE Mexico and the Texas coast through the weekend.
