Two Areas Of Interest For National Hurricane Center
The tropics are heating up… the National Hurricane Center is watching twin interest areas on either side of Mexico - one in the Eastern Pacific basin and one in the Bay of Campeche. The development chances are steadily increasing for each interest area, but the area of low pressure south of Mexico's southeast coast is looking the most likely for development this weekend. No direct impacts from either potential system are expected for the United States, but the Pacific system could bring a shot of moisture to the Southwest next week. Here's what you need to know.

Tropical Storm Barry Expected to Bring Heavy Rain to Mexico
Tropical Storm Barry formed on Sunday, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The storm was expected to bring heavy rains to the eastern coast of Mexico in the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the Gulf Coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. The storm was expected to bring three to six inches of rain, with potentially up to 10 inches in some isolated locations, through Monday. Forecasters warned the rain could produce life-threatening mudslides. The storm is expected to make landfall sometime late on Sunday or early on Monday local time, forecasters said. The Atlantic hurricane season started on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. It has had a slow start, with only two storms, both at the end of June. In late May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the parent agency of the National Weather Service, predicted that this would be an above-average season, with 13 to 19 named storms. Last year, there were 18 named storms, 11 of which became hurricanes. Five of those hurricanes became what the Hurricane Center calls 'major,' or Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The Eastern Pacific, where hurricane season began on May 15, has been off to a busy start. Storms that form off the west coast of North America typically get started before their counterparts in the Atlantic, and there have been five already this year: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila and Erick, which hit Mexico's West Coast this month as a strong Category 3 hurricane. Seasons in both oceans run through Nov. 30. Tracking Tropical Storm Barry See the likely path and wind arrival times for Barry.

Tropical Storms Barry and Flossie form off Mexico's southeast and southwest coasts
MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Barry formed Sunday near Mexico's southeast coast and is expected to drench the region for several days. The storm's center was located about 90 miles (140 kilometers) east-southeast of Tuxpan, Mexico and about 165 miles (about 265 kilometers) southeast of Tampico, Mexico, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was moving northwest at 6 mph (9 kph). A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. The storm is expected to strengthen slightly before it reaches the coast of southeastern Mexico. Rapid weakening is expected after the system moves inland. Forecasters said that the storm could dump three to six inches (eight to 15 centimeters) of rain with an isolated maximum total of 10 inches (25 centimeters) across Veracruz, San Luis Potosi, and Tamaulipas through Monday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Flossie formed off Mexico's southwest coast. It was located about 240 miles (390 kilometers) south of Acapulco and was moving west at 9 mph (15 kph) with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). A tropical storm watch was in effected for Mexico's southwest coast from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes. Flossie is expected to become a hurricane on Monday or Tuesday, but remains in open waters just west of Mexico. Forecasters said the storm could dump three to six inches (eight to 15 centimeters) of rain with an isolated maximum total of 10 inches (25 centimeters) across parts of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco through early next week.
