Bertha near Bermuda and almost a Cat 1 Hurricane; Cristobal on the way

Bertha is 65 miles away from Bermuda is is almost a Category 1 hurricane. The track has it strengthening a bit and slowly pulling away from that island. Bermuda may or may not feel the hurricane force winds, and because of that a Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch are currently issued.

More pressing is the fact that a tropical low has formed with at least mid-level convection much farther south and west of where Bertha formed. This is most likely going to be Cristobal by tonight or tomorrow (fyi dolly is the next after that). This could be serious, as it most certainly will hit the Carribean, the Gulf Coast or the Atlantic coast. We shall have to wait and see once official updates are issued about this potential storm.

On a positive note, we got 2" of rain yesterday, which is a record for the date, and far surpasses what we've gotten over the last couple months. It would help even more if this storm were to hit in the right part of the coast and give us some rain!
