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.
