People, we have our first Hurricane.

…BERTHA BECOMES THE FIRST HURRICANE OF THE 2008 ATLANTIC SEASON…

AT 500 AM AST…0900Z…THE CENTER OF HURRICANE BERTHA WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 19.3 NORTH…LONGITUDE 50.2 WEST OR ABOUT 845 MILES…
1365 KM…EAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS.

BERTHA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 17 MPH…28 KM/HR.
A CONTINUED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION WITH A GRADUAL DECREASE IN
FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS…AS
BERTHA REMAINS OVER THE WATERS OF THE CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC.
IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF BERTHA WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT
ANY LAND AREAS.

The projected track has the storm lifting to the north. Of course we’ll keep watching.
