Overview

  • Barry’s sustained winds dropped to 35 mph as it made landfall near Tampico and quickly weakened over eastern Mexico
  • Forecasters warn of 3 to 6 inches of rain with isolated totals up to 10 inches in Veracruz, San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas, raising flash-flood and mudslide risks
  • Remnant moisture from Barry is expected to drift into southern Texas, enhancing rain chances along the Gulf Coast midweek
  • Pacific Tropical Storm Flossie formed off Mexico’s southwest coast and is forecast to intensify into a hurricane while remaining over open waters
  • The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a separate low-pressure system off Florida with about a 20% chance of tropical development before July 4
