Hurricane Bertha...?

Question

I was just wondering, we're going on vacation to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina this Sunday. Will we have any bad weather? I know it's expected to miss Bermuda and keep heading North. Will we have any affect from it? If so, how much?

Answer 1

There will just be a little bit of wave action, but the storm is expected to go east of Bermuda.

Answer 2

By this sunday, bertha will be long gone.  You will have no affect whatsoever this weekend.  If you have bad weather sunday, it will not be from bertha.

Answer 3

Other than maybe some increased surf conditions, I don't see any other effects, as Bertha will remain well out to sea.

Answer 4

Maybe some swells on the ocean but no storm surge and wind.

Answer 5

You might notice some rain. It's been raining here for the past 4 days off and on.

You will notice some killer waves to surf! I'm excited!

Don't worry though. You will still enjoy your vacation!
