DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Barry was located near latitude 31.4 North, longitude 93.4 West. Barry is moving toward the north near 6 mph (10 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Barry will move across the western and northern portions of Louisiana today, and over Arkansas tonight and Monday. NOAA Doppler weather radar data and surface observations indicate that maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. These winds are occurring near the coast to the southeast of the center. Weakening is expected as the center moves farther inland, and Barry is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression later today. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km) mainly over water to the southeast of the center. A sustained wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) was recently reported at Cypremort Point, Louisiana, located in Vermilion Bay. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key Messages for Barry can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC. STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Intracoastal City to the Mouth of the Atchafalaya River...1 to 3 ft Mouth of the Atchafalaya River to Biloxi MS, including Lake Pontchartrain...Water levels are decreasing to normal levels as the storm moves inland. RAINFALL: Barry is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches over south-central Louisiana, with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches. Across the remainder of the Lower Mississippi Valley, total rain accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are expected, with isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches. This rainfall is expected to lead to dangerous, life-threatening flooding. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring across portions of the Tropical Storm Warning area, and these conditions will persist through the morning. TORNADOES: A couple of tornadoes are possible today across portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, western Alabama, and eastern Arkansas.
