Great Hi-res Picture of "Bertha"

Good morning,

   While we wait on a rainy afternoon to arrive, hurricane Bertha continues now to weaken in the open waters of the Atlantic.  Here is a great high resolution satellite shot of Bertha taken by a NASA satellite on Monday.  Bertha quickly grew into a Category 3 hurricane as this picture was taken.

  

   Bertha, this morning, weakened to a category 2 hurricane with top winds at 104 miles an hour and higher wind gusts. It is still 1000 miles southeast of Bermuda and slowly moving northwest.   Our in-house computer model indicates "Bertha" will turn northward and weaken as it moves into the cooler waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  It should miss Bermuda before falling apart. 

   Have a great day,

   Brett

Brett- how wide is Bertha? She looks pretty symetric as well...Great pic- Thanks*** Tropical storm force extend out 115 miles from the center, she looks pretty compact, so I would have to say less than 400 miles wide, just estimating.  Brett

Its already weakening! No more eye anymore.  ***No, still an eye, just not that distinct. It still looks pretty symetrical with cold cloud tops near the center.  Brett
