Episode Details

Tropical Depression Two is brewing in the Gulf and could become Tropical Storm Bertha—bringing heavy rain and storm surge to Louisiana and Mississippi, though it won’t hit hurricane strength. Atmospheric winds are disrupting its structure, slowing development. It’s forecast to move west, strengthen slightly, and make landfall on the Texas coast before fizzling out by Saturday. If it forms, Bertha will be the second named storm of the 2026 season, which forecasters are now predicting could be below average—with only nine storms expected, down from earlier estimates. Peak activity still likely comes in mid-September.
