According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Bertha is forming in the Gulf and may bring flooding.

The tropical storm was “stationary” on the night of July 20th, and forecasters warned it could bring tropical storm conditions, like heavy rainfall and coastal flooding, to parts of the northern Gulf Coast in the next few days.

This is the second storm named for the Atlantic hurricane season and was located about 140 miles south of Panama City, Florida, and about 215 miles southeast of Mobile, Alabama. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

Forecasters are saying that a slow west-northwestward or westward movement is expected during the next several days as Bertha moves near or along the northern Gulf Coast. It’s also possible it gets stronger through July 21st.


Rainy days


Even though it’s fairly far away at this time, how can this affect your upcoming Disney World trip? If you’re flying or driving through the Middle Texas Coast and some southern portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, you should expect lots of rainfall, and there might be travel delays because of it.

Orlando is having storms just about every day, which include heavy rainfall and possibly wind. You should pack your heavy-duty rain gear and have backup plans for certain activities. Many outdoor rides close due to storms, so you’ll want some indoor rides as a backup or be willing to wait it out somewhere else. During storm season, we like to make sure we have dining reservations for indoor locations so we know when the storm hits, we have a table ready for us to relax in.


Rainy day in Disney World


With the rain, it is possible that there will be flooding in Florida and the other areas of the tropical storm’s path, so be aware that this can cause disruptions in travel and create unsafe situations. You’ll want to make sure you’re staying up to date with everything happening by following local news stations and the National Hurricane Center.
