Tropical Storm Bertha Expected to Make Landfall in Southeast Louisiana

Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to make landfall in Southeast Louisiana between Wednesday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Most of the storm’s heavy rainfall is projected to remain over the Gulf of Mexico, but a storm surge of up to 4 feet along the coast is possible, officials said.

Emergency management agencies, including MEMA, are closely monitoring the storm as it approaches land. Authorities advise residents to stay alert for updates and prepare for possible impacts.

Forecasters continue to track Bertha’s path and intensity, and officials will provide further updates as the situation develops.
