SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Storm Bertha has moved inland over lower Southeast Texas
continuing a weakening trend. Tropical storm warnings have been
discontinued east of the Cameron / Vermilion Parish line as well as
marine south extending south and east of Calcasieu Pass. Tropical
Storm Warnings remain in effect across western Cameron Parish,
Louisiana, and Jefferson County, Texas including Calcasieu and Sabine
Lakes. The remainder of the forecast remains unchanged with 1 to
2 feet of surge possible and most of the heavy rainfall remaining
offshore due to the sheared nature of the convection. Bertha is
expected to weaken into a tropical depression overnight as it
encounters more land interaction moving further into Texas.


POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
Southwest Louisiana / Southeast Texas. Remain well sheltered from hazardous
wind having limited impacts. If realized,
these impacts include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
- A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
- Scattered power and communications outages.

Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to
no impact is anticipated.

* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
Southwest Louisiana / Southeast Texas. Remain well away from locally hazardous
surge having limited impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
- Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
- Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread
with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where
surge water covers the road.
- Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
- Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to
no impact is anticipated.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time
across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas.

* TORNADOES:
