Tropical Depression Barry brought rain to eastern Mexico on Sunday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Barry was located at latitude 22.0\u00b0N and longitude 97.8\u00b0W which put the center about 15 miles (25 km) south-southeast of Tampico, Mexico.\u00a0 Barry was moving toward the northwest at 9 m.p.h. (15 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (55 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1007 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Tropical Storm Barry weakened to a tropical depression on Sunday night just before it made landfall on the coast of Mexico south of Tampico.\u00a0 An upper level ridge over southern Mexico produced strong westerly winds that blew toward the top of Barry\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The strong vertical wind shear caused Barry to weaken to a tropical depression.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Barry will move around the southwestern part of a high pressure system that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to over the Gulf of Mexico.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Barry toward the northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Depression Barry will move inland over Mexico west of Tampico.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Barry is likely to weaken quickly as it moves farther inland.\u00a0 Even though Barry will weaken quickly, it could drop heavy rain on parts of the state of Veracruz.\u00a0 Heavy rain could cause flash floods in some locations, especially in mountainous areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
