Issued at 1100 AM AST WED AUG 06 2014 000 WTNT43 KNHC 061435 TCDAT3 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE BERTHA DISCUSSION NUMBER 23 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL032014 1100 AM AST WED AUG 06 2014 Satellite images indicate that Bertha has become associated with a frontal system and has acquired extratropical characteristics. The low-level center is devoid of deep convection and is on the cold air side of a frontal cloud band or trough extending from Nova Scotia southwestward to the Bahamas. In addition, there is a strong westerly upper-level jet over the system. The low is moving toward the northeast or 055 degrees at 27 knots steered by the mid-latitude westerlies. Most of the global models keep the post-tropical cyclone moving rapidly northeastward and then eastward over the North Atlantic. This is the last advisory issued by the NHC on Bertha. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1 and WMO header FZNT01 KWBC.
