2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Tropical Storm Bertha has made landfall on the southern tip of Louisiana. The storm, moving slowly along the Gulf Coast on Wednesday, is packing strong winds that extend as much as 100 miles from its center.

Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to weaken in the Gulf of Mexico as it chugs closer to the U.S. But forecasters say it still could bring coastal flooding and heavy rain from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana.

The storm dumped rain across the region — some areas saw 6 to 9 inches in a matter of hours.

The National Weather Service says heavy rain from Tropical Storm Arthur's remnants is falling in southern Louisiana on Thursday morning and is expected to move into Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
