Tropical Storm Bertha slogged toward the Gulf Coast, forecasters said, remaining on track to bring heavy rain and winds to several states in the area.

Where is Tropical Storm Bertha? Expected to form in the Gulf, here's latest NOAA forecast path, tracker maps, landfall outlook and potential impacts.

Tropical Storm Bertha became the second named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season July 20. As of July 21, Bertha is expected to remain a tropical storm as it moves slowly across the Gulf. Forecasters are predicting Bertha will strengthen slightly before gradually weakening later this week.

Bertha continues its tour along the Gulf Coast, ushering in tropical storm-force wind gusts, hazardous beach conditions and pockets of rain. But its most significant impacts may unfold hundreds of miles away in the mid-Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Elida is expected to bring muggy, warm weather to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sacramento Valley and California coastline.
