Bertha first made landfall within the Biloxi Wildlife Management Area in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, with winds of 45 mph on Wednesday July 22. Bertha's center of low pressure continues to be shredded apart and will weaken as it progresses inland. </p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">Tropical Storm Bertha</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)"> is moving slowly westward towards Houston and San Antonio, bringing periods of heavy rain to the Gulf Coast of Texas. Gusty winds, rough surf, and coastal flooding are possible for the rest of Thursday along the Gulf Coast. </span></p><p>The atmosphere surrounding Bertha remains hostile. Strong northeasterly wind shear is disrupting the storm’s vertical structure by pushing the deepest thunderstorms away from the center of circulation. <span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">As Bertha continues to move inland, the tropical storm will gradually weaken over the coming days. As it does so, the threats will diminish.</span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-23 140455-1784837108194.png"></p><h1>Pacific</h1><p>There are a few other areas we are monitoring in the Eastern Pacific. <strong>Hurricane Fausto </strong>continues to track west, along with another area behind Fausto that has a high chance of tropical development in the next 7 days.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-23 072220-1784812962294.png"></p><p>Now a hurricane, Fausto is expected to track westward and remain at Category One strength. Dry air and increasing shear mean the storm is expected to weaken some through the weekend as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands. It's too early to determine if the storm will track over the islands or head north, but some impacts can be expected. Large swells and strong currents will impact the islands next week, but wind and rain impacts from the system itself cannot be ruled out. We will continue to keep you updated!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-23 141223-1784837566073.png"></p>

<p>A stalled boundary over the Carolinas will keep storms in the forecast into the weekend. While we do have severe weather chances, models are showing high rainfall rates and a flood risk for the area.</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2080088002332872753" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2080088002332872753"></div><h1>Flooding</h1><p>With the front sticking around for the long haul, rainfall chances will be in the forecast daily. This stretch makes it all the way out to the weekend! Rainfall totals across the South will average between 3-6 inches of rain. Localized heavier amounts are possible. Make sure you have a plan of action if high water becomes an issue in your neighborhood.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-23 142023-1784838037928.png">With a large amount of rain in the forecast, the risk for flash flooding will be present. More than likely, Flood Watches will continue from Northern Alabama and East Tennessee to the Carolina coastline through the weekend. </p><p>A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible along and south of the front on Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk of severe weather for the area shaded in dark green:</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-23 141714-1784837895658.png"></p><p>Despite this last week, it's been pretty dry for the Carolinas. Recent updates from the drought monitor show an extreme to even exceptional drought across the Carolinas. Hopefully, all this rain can offset some of those concerns.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-07-22 044550-1784717162590.png"></p><p>Make sure to tune into WeatherNation for the full east breakdown at :10 past the hour!

Flash Flooding for the Carolinas This Week

<p>Conditions have been really dry out west. We've been tracking some major fires across the state of Oregon. With multiple fires burning in the same general region, they form complexes. We have two large ones we're tracking now with containment improvements.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062044-1784814484684.png"></p><p>One of the biggest issues we're going to track with these fires will be the smoke. Unfortunately, upper-level winds will send this moderate to even dense smoke across the Pacific Northwest.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062205-1784814510315.png">This smoke is expected to lower the air quality considerably across the area through the week. Red Flag warnings will be in place the next few days, so be mindful of anything that could spark a new fire over the weekend. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot 2026-03-29 062330-1784814589706.png"></p><p>Stay tuned to the forecast here on WeatherNation at :50 past the hour for your full Western U.S. breakdown!</p>
