July 1, 2025 - Tropical Storm Barry
Tweet
On June 28, 2025, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) advised the formation of a new tropical depression over the Bay of Campeche off the eastern coast of Mexico. Late that afternoon, Tropical Depression Two was located about 385-kilometers (240 miles) east-southeast of the city of Tuxpan and about 210 kilometers (130 mi) east of Veracruz. It was moving west-northwest towards the coast at about 45 kilometers per hour (7 mph). The storm triggered the government of Mexico to issue a Tropical Storm Warning for the Gulf Coast from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla.
On June 29, the storm strengthened as it approached the coast and was named Tropical Storm Barry. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image of Barry on that same day. At that time, the center of the poorly formed tropical storm was just off the coast of Mexico while widespread convective bands reached well inland, dumping heavy rain. A second storm, Tropical Storm Flossie, can be seen in the southwest section of the image, spinning over the Pacific Ocean and moving away from land.
At 10:00 p.m. CDT (11:00 p.m. EDT) on June 29, Barry made landfall about 15 miles (25 km) south-southeast of Tampico, Mexico. It had weakened to a tropical depression before moving over land and was carrying maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour (55 km/h). Barry quickly dissipated as it moved inland. The storm brought 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15 cm) to portions of the country near the center of the storm, according to media reports.
The NHC issued its last advisory on the short-lived tropical storm at 0900 UTC (5:00 a.m. EDT) on June 30. The remnants of the storm are expected to continue to produce rain for the next several days.
