Although expected to be a weak storm, AccuWeather's Dan Kottlowski said having two preseason storms shows the need for people to make sure they have a hurricane plan in place.
Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall in South Carolina, and, although it's expected to quickly dissipate, the storm has the potential to cause life-threatening flash flooding.
Bertha, the second named storm to occur before Atlantic hurricane season officially starts on June 1, made landfall east of Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday morning. Within the next few hours, South Carolina's coast should experience strong winds and heavy rainfall could be seen in North Carolina and Virginia.
It's"unusual" but not unheard of to have two named storms before hurricane season starts, Dan Kottlowski, senior meteorologist and lead hurricane expert at AccuWeather told. Having multiple pre-season storms doesn't"necessarily dictate the season," but Kottlowski said they fit into AccuWeather's forecast for the season.AccuWeather predicted there would be two to four early season storms and a total of 14 to 20 storms.
Ahead of Bertha's landfall, the National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for South Carolina's coast from Edisto Beach to South Santee River. Moving at about nine miles per hour, the storm is expected to move inland across eastern and northern South Carolina and then into west-central North Carolina by Wednesday night. Bertha will likely have a short life span, as forecasters predicted the storm would weaken rapidly after moving inland and dissipate on Thursday.
Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall in South Carolina on Wednesday and is expected to bring heavy rain to South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.Since the storm formed and moved inland so quickly, Kottlowski said had it occurred decades earlier, it may not have even been named. In the 1970s when meteorologists didn't have the advanced technology used today, poor radar may have prevented official from thinking of Bertha as a tropical storm.
