Tropical Storm Bertha is the second named storm of 2020, but poses no threat to Texas. Bertha comes less than one week before the start of the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season on June 1. The storm is currently moving inland off the coast of South Carolina, bringing heavy inland rainfall for the region.
