Hurricane Bertha Heads toward Bermuda, Weakens to Category 1 Storm

 

Hurricane Bertha has forecasters cautiously predicting Thursday it will remain a Category 1 storm as it continues tracking toward Bermuda.

 

Bertha managed to escalate to a Category 3 hurricane over the course of a few hours on Sunday. It has been losing strength since then, and was downgraded to a Category 1 on Wednesday.

 

Authorities are warning people on the island of Bermuda to continue monitoring the storm’s progress, saying Bertha was expected to slow down over the next couple of days and could potentially re-strengthen.

 

As the first storm in the 2008 Atlantic season, Bertha has maximum sustained winds of about 90 mph and is traveling northwest at about 9 mph.
