Tropical Storm Bertha makes landfall in Louisiana, sparing Florida direct impact

Tropical Storm Bertha came ashore north of the Mississippi River mouth on Wednesday, keeping Florida largely out of its direct path. The storm brought drier and slightly cooler conditions to the western Florida Peninsula, though rip current dangers persisted along the Gulf Coast. As Bertha moves away, forecasters expect the state’s typical summer heat and afternoon rain to resume.
