Bertha's 45 mph, 2-Landfall Gulf Run Ends With Zero Storm-Force Winds
Tropical Storm Bertha, the Atlantic's second named storm of 2026, made two Gulf landfalls at an estimated 45 mph without producing sustained tropical-storm-force winds over land. Its top-down formation and sheared, dry-air-choked structure show how warm seas and a favorable MJO were outweighed by vertical wind shear and Saharan dust. The basin has since gone quiet, with Cristobal next on the list and no near-term areas of concern.
