Tropical Depression Bertha Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022020
500 PM EDT Wed May 27 2020

Surface observations and WSR-88D radar data indicate that the
center of Bertha continues to move farther inland across central
and northern South Carolina. Based on surface observations, the
maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 25 kt, with these
winds mainly along the coastal areas to the east of the center.
Additional weakening is expected as the system moves farther
inland, with Bertha forecast to decay to a remnant low pressure
area on Thursday, followed by dissipation on Thursday night.

The initial motion is 340/13. The cyclone is located between the
subtropical ridge to the east and a large deep-layer low pressure
area over the lower Mississippi River valley. These features
should steer the system and its associated rainfall generally
northward during the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the
north-northeast before dissipation between 24-36 h. The new
forecast track is nudged a little to the west of the previous track
based mainly on the initial location and motion.

This is the last advisory on Bertha issued by the National
Hurricane Center. 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.

Key Messages:

1. Bertha may produce life-threatening flash flooding across
portions of northeastern South Carolina into west central to
far southeast North Carolina and Southwest Virginia. Ongoing river
flooding will be aggravated and recessions prolonged in the region.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


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.

Tropical Storm Bertha Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022020
1100 AM EDT Wed May 27 2020

The circulation of Bertha remained compact yet well-defined
through landfall, which occurred around 930 AM EDT near Mount
Pleasant, South Carolina. Buoy data around that time indicated
that maximum sustained winds had increased to around 45 kt.
Although the center has moved inland, a strong rain band with
onshore flow continues to slowly migrate northward along the South
Carolina coast. Therefore it is anticipated that
tropical-storm-force winds will remain possible in the warning area
over the next few hours. Bertha is expected to weaken to a tropical
depression later today, then weaken to a remnant low tonight as the
center moves farther inland.

Model guidance is in good agreement on taking the weakening cyclone
north to north-northwestward through tonight, followed by a turn to
the north-northeast along with an increase in forward speed later on
Thursday. This official track is only slightly east of the previous
one and is near the multi-model consensus.

Key Messages:

1. Bertha may produce life-threatening flash flooding across
portions of eastern to central South Carolina into west central to
far southeast North Carolina and Southwest Virginia. Ongoing river
flooding will be aggravated and recessions prolonged in the region.

2. Bertha is expected to continue to bring tropical storm winds to
portions of the South Carolina coast within the warning area over
next few hours.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Edisto Beach SC to South Santee River SC

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning, in this case for the next
few hours.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bertha was
located near latitude 33.3 North, longitude 79.5 West. Bertha is
moving toward the north near 15 mph (24 km/h) and this
general motion is expected to continue through tonight with a
gradual increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, Bertha
will move inland across eastern and northern South Carolina later
today and into central North Carolina by tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Bertha is expected
to weaken to a tropical depression later today and become a remnant
low tonight.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 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 eastern and
central 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: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue near the
coast for the next few hours.

...BERTHA MAKES LANDFALL ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST...

Coastal radar data indicates that the center of Tropical

Tropical Storm Bertha Special Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022020
830 AM EDT Wed May 27 2020

The area of disturbed weather that NHC has been tracking over the
past day or so has quickly become better organized this morning.
The circulation has become better defined and the center has
reformed beneath the area of deep convection just offshore of the
coast of South Carolina. Recent NWS Doppler radar data from
Charleston and buoy data indicates that the system is producing
tropical-storm-force winds. Therefore, advisories are being
initiated on Tropical Storm Bertha. The system will be moving
inland very shortly and little, if any, additional strengthening is
expected. Once inland, the small tropical cyclone should weaken
rapidly and dissipated over central North Carolina on Thursday.

There is very little continuity on the initial motion since the
center has only recently formed. The best estimate of the initial
motion is 320/8 kt. The system should continue to move generally
northwestward around the western side of a mid-level ridge located
over the western Atlantic. The track guidance is in good agreement
on this scenario, and the NHC track forecast is close to a blend of
the GFS and ECMWF models.

Key Messages:

1. Bertha is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of
eastern and central South Carolina, west-central to far
southeastern North Carolina, and southwest Virginia. This rainfall
may produce life-threatening flash flooding.

2. Bertha is expected to bring tropical storm winds to portions of
the South Carolina coast within the warning area in the next few
hours.
