Tropical Storm Barry wet

The current location size and shape of Barry and Tropical Storm conditions, watches and warnings shown in MAP ABOVE.

Barry is a strong tropical storm and continues to strengthen and is expected to reach minimal hurricane status by landfall, BUT it’s the rain not wind that is the main impact. 3 inches an hour or more at times over the weekend 20-30 inch total in some spot not out of the question.
