TS Bertha and a new disturbance

A new disturbance has begun to organize between Florida and the Bahamas. It does not yet have a name. This is a northward moving storm system that will influence our weather through at least Monday. The storm will bring us rain, which will diminish over the next few days, and winds up to 14 MPH. The disturbance has a zero percent chance of organizing at this time, but I saw that with Hurricane Arthur.

Bertha is now brushing past the Turks and Caicos Islands and is gradually beginning its turn towards the north. As of the 5 AM advisory, Bertha had winds of 45 MPH and a central pressure of 1012 MB. If the forecast track is correct, Bertha will make its closest approach to Glynn County at around 8 PM Monday evening. The storm should have little influence on our weather as it passes. After that, Bertha is predicted to gradually gain strength, briefly become a hurricane, turn towards the north-northeast and become a subtropical storm in five days.

In terms of overall influence, the new disturbance will have significantly more impact than Bertha. Be mindful that there is now two storms!
