Tropical Storm Bertha Rain Bands expected to arrive in our area

Forecast keeps changing, as usual. Next weather update will be at 10 am. Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to make landfall at or near Galveston today, unless the path changes. Right now, stormy weather is predicted to be just south of I-10.

I heard on the radio this morning that (they say) Bertha will skirt the coastline and if you live inland, you might not even notice her. We shall see.

I hope Bertha drops a little rain on us.

Looks like Bertha will go through Houston at 7 pm tonight and head our way. 40 mph to 45 mph winds, and some rain. Another Tropical Storm Bertha update will be at 2 pm today.

Rainbands are predicted to begin to arrive in our area at around 4 pm today.

I hear thunder coming from the east and the sky is getting darker.

The wind is getting g much stronger. And it is beginning to lightly rain.

We got a good welcome rainfall yesterday evening. Good thing is we were all home safe and sound and not driving in it.

@Fiona :
Glad that Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall sooner than expected and we only had winds in the 20 to 25 mph range here. Also, glad that we didn't have thunderstorms stall over us and drop 2 to 4 inches of rain per hour like it did in some places near us. Nice amount of rain with some thunderstorms here.
