Tropical Depression Near Florida Forecasted to Strengthen into Tropical Storm Bertha
A tropical depression formed off Florida's west coast and is forecast to strengthen into Tropical Storm Bertha by Monday, prompting tropical storm watches from the Florida Panhandle to the Alabama border. The system is moving slowly north-northwest near Panama City and is expected to bring heavy rainfall, storm surge, and possible flash flooding along the Gulf Coast, including parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Forecasters note uncertainty in Bertha's exact path but anticipate it will approach the northern Gulf Coast midweek.
