<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">TCDAT2

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Tropical Storm Barry Discussion Number   7

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022019

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">1000 PM CDT Thu Jul 11 2019

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Despite the lack of convection over the northern portion of the

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">storm, reconnaissance aircraft data show that Barry has

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">strengthened this evening.  The aircraft has found peak 850 mb

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">flight-level winds of 55 kt, and believable SFMR winds of around 45

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">kt.  Based on these data, the initial wind speed has been increased

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">to 45 kt.  The NOAA and U.S. Air Force Reserve aircraft have also

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">reported that the pressure has fallen a couple of millibars since

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">the previous advisory.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">The tropical storm continues to be affected by northerly shear and

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">dry mid-level air.  Despite the shear, nearly all of the intensity

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">guidance and the global models gradually deepen the cyclone during

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">the next 24-36 hours and the NHC intensity forecast once again

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">calls for strengthening until the cyclone reaches the coast.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Although the NHC intensity forecast again does not explicitly show

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Barry becoming a hurricane, it is still possible for that to occur

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">before landfall.  After that time, steady weakening is expected

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">while the center moves inland.  The intensity guidance is in

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">relatively good agreement, and the NHC forecast is in best

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">agreement with the latest HFIP-corrected-consensus model.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Barry is moving westward or 275 degrees at about 3 kt.  The tropical

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">storm should move slowly westward to west-northwestward around

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">the southern portion of a mid-level ridge tonight and Friday. After

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">that time, a weakness in the ridge should cause Barry to turn

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">northwestward, then northward later in the weekend.  The overall

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">track guidance envelope changed little this cycle.  The UKMET

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">is still along the far western side of the envelope, but the

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">18Z HWRF did shift westward and is closer to the center of the

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">envelope.  The NHC forecast track is very close to the previous

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">official forecast, and lies between the GFEX and HCCA consensus

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">models.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Key Messages:

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">1. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">along the coast of southern and southeastern Louisiana where a Storm

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Surge Warning is in effect. The highest storm surge inundation is

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">expected between Intracoastal City and Shell Beach. Residents in

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">these areas should listen to any advice given by local officials.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">2. The slow movement of Barry will result in a long duration heavy

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">rainfall and flood threat along the central Gulf Coast and inland

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">through the lower Mississippi Valley through the weekend into early

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">next week. Flash flooding and river flooding will become

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">increasingly likely, some of which may be significant, especially

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">along and east of the track of the system.

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> 

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">3. Hurricane conditions are expected along a portion of the coast of

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Louisiana, where a Hurricane Warning has been issued.  Residents in

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">these areas should rush their preparations to completion, as

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">tropical storm conditions are expected to arrive in the warning area

<span-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">by Friday morning.
