As Tropical Storm Bertha moves away from southeast Louisiana, associated watches and warnings are cancelled.
"Coastal flooding has been observed at several observation stations along the Louisiana coast west of the Mississippi River. Minor to moderate coastal flooding upwards of 1 to 2 feet is expected during the high tide cycle this morning," the National Weather Service office in Slidell said Thursday.
"Light rainfall is occurring with this storm over land areas though localized brief heavy rainfall will be possible, mainly this morning for coastal areas of Mississippi and southeast Louisiana. The threat of excessive rainfall has decreased across all of southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi," the NWS added.
As Bertha moves on, heat will be moving back in over the coming days. The NWS warns some locations could see afternoon highs around 100.
Tropical Storm Bertha is heading westward near the southwestern Louisiana coast.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Bertha is expected to reach the Texas coast later today. It's currently 100-miles east-northeast of Galveston and is packing winds of up to 45-miles-per-hour.
The storm is expected to maintain intensity until it starts moving over land and then dissipate late tonight or tomorrow.
