The second tropical system of the young Atlantic hurricane season has formed and is named Bertha. The storm has 40mph winds and is moving west northwest away from the Cape Verde Islands. That area is being affected by the outer rain bands this morning. The storm is expected to very slowly strengthen and may reach hurricane strength over the weekend. Beyond that forecasters expect the storm to take a northwest track and possibly loose strength due to a southwest wind sheer early next week.
