Tropical Storm Barry approaching the Gulf coast of Mexico, expected to make landfall tonight

Poorly-organized Tropical Depression Two over the Bay of Campeche became better organized this morning, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Barry – the second named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. Barry is likely at its peak intensity, and the disorganized tropical storm is expected to make landfall in eastern Mexico tonight.

Maximum sustained winds were 40 knots (45 mph), with a minimum pressure of 1006 mb. Barry remains disorganized, with its low-level circulation partially exposed. The tropical storm should make landfall this evening near Cabo Rojo, Mexico. After moving inland, Barry should weaken to a tropical depression by late tonight and a remnant low by tomorrow afternoon. A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect from Boca de Catan, Mexico southward to Tecolutla, Mexico.
