Houston Dodges Bertha's Worst
21 Jul
Summary
- Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to form in the Gulf.
- Houston likely to avoid significant rainfall and flooding.
- Minimal wind and rainfall impacts are anticipated for Texas.
Tropical Depression Two is forming in the eastern Gulf and is expected to become Tropical Storm Bertha. Forecasts suggest that the storm's trajectory will cause it to weaken significantly before reaching Texas. Impacts on Houston and Southeast Texas are anticipated to be minimal, with only a slight chance of increased showers later in the week.
While the storm's track and intensity remain uncertain beyond Thursday, forecasters do not foresee major alarms for the region. Coastal waters could experience tropical storm-force winds as early as Wednesday night. In separate weather news, Houston is bracing for potentially the hottest week of 2026, with temperatures possibly reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday and Wednesday.
