DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Barry
was located by NOAA Doppler radars and surface observations near
latitude 32.8 North, longitude 93.6 West.  The depression is moving
toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h) and this general motion is
forecast tonight through Monday morning.   A motion toward the
north-northeast and northeast is expected Monday afternoon into
Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Barry will move across
the northwestern portions of Louisiana today, and over Arkansas
tonight and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with
higher gusts.  These winds are occurring near the coast well to
the southeast and south of the center.  Further weakening is
expected as the center moves farther inland, and Barry is forecast
to degenerate into a remnant low pressure system by Monday night.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key Messages for Barry can be found in the Tropical Cyclone

STORM SURGE:  Water levels along the southern coast of Louisiana
will continue to subside into this evening. However, some minor
coastal flooding is still possible through today.  For information
specific to your area, please see products issued by your local
National Weather Service forecast office.

RAINFALL:  Barry is expected to produce additional rain
accumulations of 3 to 6 inches across portions of the lower
Mississippi Valley with isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches across
eastern Arkansas, western Tennessee, southeast Missouri, and
northwest Mississippi.

Additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches with isolated storm
totals of 10-15 inches are expected across south-central Louisiana.
This additional rainfall will lead to dangerous, life threatening
flooding.

WIND:  Gale-force winds, especially in gusts, could occur across
the coastal areas of southwestern Louisiana into this evening.
However, these winds are not directly associated with Barry's
circulation.

TORNADOES:  A couple of tornadoes are possible through Sunday night
across parts of southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, western Alabama,
eastern Arkansas, and western Tennessee.
