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.

Tropical Storms Barry And Flossie Forecast To Form In Southern Gulf, Eastern Pacific. Warning Issued In Mexico.
The tropics have quickly come to life on either side of Mexico, and that is forecast to generate two named storms, Barry and Flossie, in the next day or so. - The big picture: A large pocket of moisture is pushing westward through Central America and the eastern Pacific, within which there are two systems that are expected to develop. Direct impacts by a tropical system in the United States are not expected, but some moisture could reach the Southwest late in the week ahead. - Gulf system: Previously known as Invest 91L, this was designated Tropical Depression Two by the National Hurricane Center Saturday afternoon. It is producing thunderstorms over parts of southeastern Mexico and the Bay of Campeche. A tropical storm warning has been issued along parts of eastern Mexico's Gulf Coast from southern Tamaulipas to northern Veracruz states, including Tampico. This means tropical storm conditions are expected in these areas, in this case, Sunday into Sunday night. It is forecast to gain enough strength to become Tropical Storm Barry, the second storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. But it doesn't have a long runway before it comes ashore in eastern Mexico by late Sunday or early Monday. Locally flooding rainfall is likely the main threat with this system. Parts of eastern Mexico, especially near Tampico, could pick up 3 to 6 inches of rain, with isolated amounts of 10 inches, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center. Tropical storm force winds, some elevated surf and rip currents can also be expected along eastern Mexico's Gulf Coast. - Pacific system: Invest 95E is expected to develop into Tropical Storm Flossie in the next day or so as it moves northwestward near or offshore of the Mexican coastline. Most computer models suggest Flossie may top out either as a tropical storm or low-end hurricane. While the forecast is still uncertain, some outer bands of rain may soak areas near Mexico's Pacific coast, leading to flash flooding. Rip currents and high surf will also likely eventually develop. Tropical moisture from this storm could be sucked northward as a burst of monsoonal moisture into the Southwestern US before July 4th. (MORE: What is an Invest?)
