Tropical Depression Barry Main Thread

[drezee]

Look out for the outflow boundary Orlando! IT IS RACING YOUR WAY AND WITH THE SUN comming out and adding instability this could be one heck of a line going across central FL.

[Windtalker1]

Another nice line forming SW of S Florida.....Looks like some bowing of the line. Miami-Dade and Broward could get some serious stuff if this holds together in the next 1-2 hours.

Now I can't see any sign of an LLC near Tampa. That LLC appears to have dissipated. I can see a broad LLC up near 28.3N/83.5W well NW of Tampa west of the band of convection. It would appear that Barry is transitioning to an extratropical storm.

Actually, I also see what you see, it appears that the LLC that the NHC was tracking and came onshore near Sarasota/Bradenton has disipated as winds continue to be out of the S north of that area.

[wxman57]

I made a GARP image of Barry with surface plots. No sign of an LLC near the coast now. I think that center dissipated. Note the SW wind in the Tampa area now. Definitely a broad low NW of Tampa:

Yeah, I saw that center reach the coast on radar but then it suddenly vanished. I hate weak storms.

What was left of the center went ashore near Sarasota. I watched it on the Radar loop out of Tampa but there wasn't much to it. I noticed the more broad low to the west of Hernando County earlier. Was this the mid or upper level low that moved into the Gulf on Thursday?

Right now the winds here have veered around to the southwest and big time clearing down the coast toward Clearwater and St. Pete.

Spring Hill is 40 miles north of Tampa.

[cpdaman]

everyone let's focus on good news for a minute or two

check out the radar for N. Fl and Georgia

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.ph ... 11&loop=no

lot of rain rotating back to georgia and not going anywhere that fast

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

wxman57 this seems like an upper level low instead
of a tropical system...cause theres no wind
so yea I also think the LLC is dead but the
upper level part continues to produce some rains

interesting stuff

[cycloneye]

At 11 AM is downgraded to a depression.

[TampaSteve]

Barry is a TD now...thanks for the rain, Barry!

Tropical Depression Barry Discussion Number 4



Statement as of 11:00 am EDT on June 02, 2007


satellite imagery...radar...surface data and information from an Air
Force reconnaissance plane indicate that the center of Barry has
become elongated and has reached the Florida West Coast in the
vicinity of the Tampa Bay. The winds near the center have diminished
to below tropical storm strength and the cyclone has been
downgraded to tropical depression status. Barry is expected to
become fully extratropical later today after crossing Florida given
the current structure and the wind shear. The extratropical
transformation has been suggested by most of the global models.

The extratropical low should intensity and is forecast to produce
gale force winds along the East Coast of the United States.

Note: two tropical storms make landfall this morning within about
one hour...Barry near Tampa Bay and Barbara near the border of
Mexico and Guatemala in the eastern Pacific.

Since when does Proenza do advisories?

[NDG]

wxman57 this seems like an upper level low instead
of a tropical system...cause theres no wind
so yea I also think the LLC is dead but the
upper level part continues to produce some rains

interesting stuff

No not really, there were some fairly good uncontaminated steady winds south of Sarasota as that LLC came on shore before weakening, which gusted to TS force.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Oh true...so basically the LLC landfell near sarasota...

[JonathanBelles]

from the disscussion:

NOTE: TWO TROPICAL STORMS MAKE LANDFALL THIS MORNING WITHIN ABOUT
ONE HOUR...BARRY NEAR TAMPA BAY AND BARBARA NEAR THE BORDER OF
MEXICO AND GUATEMALA IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

[miamicanes177]

NHC confirms Barry was indeed tropical storm strength at landfall before weakening.

AVILA "NOTE: TWO TROPICAL STORMS MAKE LANDFALL THIS MORNING WITHIN ABOUT
ONE HOUR...BARRY NEAR TAMPA BAY AND BARBARA NEAR THE BORDER OF
MEXICO AND GUATEMALA IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC."

[cpdaman]

COULD this be RE-FORMNG as an extra tropical system over extreme NE florida

bouy 41002 has been dropping rapidly and has sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts to 50

i remember reading in a NOAA discussion friday that this was a possibility

[CrazyC83]

It was probably 40-45 mph at landfall based on Recon reports.

[wxman57]

It was probably 40-45 mph at landfall based on Recon reports.

Just by classification, not by surface obs all around Tampa.
