    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Bertha
    was located near latitude 29.9 North, longitude 95.3 West. Bertha
    is moving toward the west near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general
    motion is expected to continue tonight.

    Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
    with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected, and Bertha is
    likely to dissipate tonight.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    WIND: Wind gusts to tropical storm force are still possible along
    the upper Texas coast during the next couple of hours.

    STORM SURGE: Water levels may remain elevated through the next
    high tide cycle along the Louisiana and Texas coastline but should
    subside thereafter.

    RAINFALL: Bertha is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 1
    to 3 inches with isolated totals to 4 inches into tonight along the
    Texas Gulf Coast and South Texas. This rainfall may produce isolated
    flash flooding, especially in urban areas.

    For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
    Bertha, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall
    Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and
    the Flash Flood Risk graphic at
    hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero.

    SURF: Swells generated by Bertha will continue to affect the
    Louisiana and Texas coast through tonight. These swells are
    likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
    Please consult products from your local weather office.
