The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said late Saturday that Bertha had weakened and was expected to be absorbed by a larger weather system within the next few days.

At 11 p.m. EDT, the hurricane center reported that Bertha's center was about 545 miles east of Cape Race Newfoundland, moving northeast at near 24 mph with maximum sustained winds of nearly 70 mph.

Bertha battered Bermuda earlier this week, knocking out electricity to thousands at the Atlantic tourist destination.
