The remnants of Bertha will pass close to Cape Race, Newfoundland, on Thursday.
Berth transitioned to a non-tropical system on Wednesday.
According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, "A brief period of rain and locally gusty winds are possible over southern and eastern Newfoundland on Thursday morning as the system passes by."
Seas will quickly build into Thursday as Bertha approaches. As a result, small craft should remain in port. Seas will subside quickly on Friday.
The remnants of Bertha is forecast to drift eastward across the North Atlantic this weekend and will reach Europe.
As Bertha's remnants pass southeast of St. Johns, Newfoundland, on Thursday. A few gusts between 50 and 70 kph (30 and 45 mph) are possible along the coast and in higher elevations in the southeastern part of the province.
Disruptive winds at mid-levels of the atmosphere, known as wind shear will keep the system rather disorganized.

Bertha to Bring Rough Surf to US East Coast
Bertha has been moving along at a brisk pace since its birth last week. This forward speed will increase as the system turns more to the northeast during the second half of the week, while encountering strong steering winds.
Any flooding problems should be relatively minor and brief due to the storm's swift movement.
"Interests on Newfoundland should treat Bertha as a short-lived, nor'easter," Anderson said.
