Tropical Storm Bertha, the second named tropical cyclone of the Atlantic hurricane season, appears set to pass north of Barbados and through the central Lesser Antilles today and tonight, approaching the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the weekend.

Bertha appears “disorganized,” according to the National Hurricane Center, and it is expected to encounter unfavorable conditions for strengthening over the next 48-72 hours. After that, Bertha is expected to encounter less shear and greater moisture, which could cause modest strengthening.
