Tropical Depression Barry Main Thread

[Cookiely]

They are always called Hurricane Local Statements in NWS terms, whether it is a hurricane, a tropical storm, a tropical depression, a subtropical storm or a non-tropical system with tropical potential.

Thanks. When I saw it I thought perhaps Barry had undergone an extremely unexpected miraculous explosion while I was watching House.

[cpdaman]

wow shower/storms just east of key largo florida moved 50 miles north nw in last 45 minutes

watch out miami

[deltadog03]

I still believe that this center will move inland near tampa bay. I don't think it will go much north of that!

[hurricanefloyd5]

WHY DOES THIS SAY HURRICANE???
I have a birthday party at noon tomorrow at the Aquarium. Shouldn't be too crowded

[cpdaman]

it won't go north of tampa bay it will go into sarasota

[sponger]

Its good to be back at Storm2K. Seems like yesterday we where watching 2005 unfold. To say we need this rain is a under statement. I am happy to sit back and watch the show!

[HurricaneHunter914]

Florida is getting some much needed rain. The tornadoes and power outages are something you guys don't need. Stay safe during "TS" Barry.

The rains are very welcomed. Since 2:00PM 6/1/07 tp 12:45AM 6/2 I have recived 1.18" and it is still raining moderatley hard at times.

[mobilebay]

I really glad you all are geting the rain. It is still dry as a bone here in mobile. It's so dry I seen a tree trying to bribe a dog today.

[Aquawind]

Barry still naked..

[HurricaneHunter914]

But at least Florida is clothed in a blanket of rain.

[AnnularCane]

I guess Barry gave Florida his clothes.

He will provide some much needed rain, and hopefully not a sign of things to come.

[Coredesat]

Actually, Barry is now totally exposed, with the convection about 2 to 2.5 degrees of longitude away from the center. I'm surprised they didn't at least weaken it at 2 AM.

[Brent]

I'm expecting a TD later this morning after the next recon. It looks absolutely dreadful. Everything is over for SW FL already.

Boring. Good night.

[windstorm99]

yea definately looks a TD but even that is questionable right now but thankfully florida got some much needed rain.

Been raining on and off across miami alnight but things have gradually tapered of slowly and look to clear up later this morning.

Temps this upcoming week in the upper 80's to low 90's.

[Regit]

Little change for 5:00. 50 mph, NNE at 15.

[drezee]

buoys and ships still reporting TS winds

[windstorm99]

Maybe in those squalls away from the center which is void of any thunderstorm activity.

In sheared systems, convection can spring very quickly. Barry should have a burst or two before landfall
