Tropical Storm Bertha is no more. The National Hurricane Center in Miami announced late Thursday evening that the storm has officially dissipated after surface observations over eastern Texas showed it had lost its organized circulation and broken apart into a trough.
The advisory, issued at 10:00 PM CDT on Thursday, July 23, 2026, marks the final update on Bertha. Forecasters noted that at the time of the last recorded position, the remnants were located near 30.0°N, 96.0°W, with maximum winds of around 30 knots — or about 35 miles per hour.
Although the storm itself is gone, its remnants are not entirely harmless. Forecasters warn that leftover moisture could still bring locally heavy rainfall to portions of eastern and southern Texas through the overnight hours, with isolated flash flooding remaining a possibility in those areas.
The forecast called for full dissipation by 12 hours after the final advisory, placing the end of the system around midday Friday. The advisory was issued by Forecaster Pasch of the National Hurricane Center.
