But South Carolina got an early taste of tropical weather with Tropical Storm Bertha on Wednesday.

Bertha formed, made landfall within two hours near Mount Pleasant with 50 mph maximum sustained winds and was downgraded before sundown, bringing a poor beach day of rain and gusty winds, but no major problems.
