Tropical Storm Bertha Makes Landfall in Texas, Spreads Rain Across Gulf Coast
Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall in Texas, causing rains to spread along the Gulf Coast before being downgraded to a tropical depression.
New York, NY, July 23, 2026 —
Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall on the Texas coast on Friday, bringing heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the region. The storm weakened to a tropical depression shortly after coming ashore.
As Bertha moved inland, its associated rains began to spread eastward along the Gulf Coast. While the immediate landfall area experienced the most significant weather impacts, neighboring states also saw precipitation associated with the storm system.
Meteorologists tracked Bertha’s path closely as it transitioned from a tropical storm to a tropical depression. The downgrade indicated a significant decrease in the storm’s organization and wind intensity. Further details regarding specific rainfall amounts, wind speeds at landfall, or any potential damage were not immediately available.
The National Hurricane Center monitored the storm’s progression throughout the day and issued advisories as necessary. Residents in coastal areas were advised to stay informed about weather updates.
The duration and intensity of the rainfall across the Gulf Coast will depend on the remnants of the tropical depression as it continues to move inland. Information on the storm’s dissipation and the extent of its lingering effects is expected to emerge in the coming days.
