Radar and satellite presentation have nothing to do with strength. If recon found hurricane winds which it did, it has every right to be a hurricane.

This is the ugliest Atlantic hurricane I've ever seen and it's not even close.
It's just one big Jose (2011).
25-30+ knots of deep layer convergent, northerly shear, w/ ~180° of backing, dry air, & Barry moving head on into the shear was the ideal recipe for pure slop.

Getting some pretty good breezes with light rain. Only lots of leaves and twigs down so far. If some of that heavier convection over the Gulf just offshore gets overhead, all bets are off IMO.

Areas around and in mobile alabama are getting pounded with rain. The feeder band keeps tracking storms over the same area.
Barry is down to 65 mph.

What the heck are folks gonna do, and how will they react when a real 'Cane approaches, if this is what they have as a recent benchmark?
They'll say, "we've been through hurricanes before... we're tough... people around these parts are resilient... and every time they evacuate us it never does anything.... it would be foolish to leave." Then, an outcry from the same people because "we didn't know it would be this bad" and "it wasn't like this last time." There's a certain percentage of the population who is willfully ignorant and always will be, and there's not one thing that can be done about it.
People will always be idiots. Just like the economy can be the best ever but people wanna live above their means. Nothing to do with benchmarks from the NHC. Stay on topic.

That dry air is saving multi inches of rain from hitting the ground in LA.

In watching Adair's stream, it was nasty in those storms but outside of rain and high wind, that seemed to be it, I think.

One very strange storm for something that has made "landfall" ...

Down to 50.
Regardless of how it looks on satellite pics, the ground truth said hurricane and now still a formidable TS. Don’t let “ugly” looks fool you. That isn’t what determines the strength of a TC. Related to this, l was watching Live PD in Lafayette, LA, and I saw there had been quite a few trees down. Again, nothing to trivialize.

Enough. Not every storm is going to be Katrina or Harvey. This was a brief CAT 1 that hit land that weakened once on land like storms normally do.
Barry is down to 40 MPH.

I can’t wait till a cat 6 hits Wilkesboro
Pressure is up to 1007 mb.
New state record for rain in Arkansas from a tropical system.
Conclusion: Just the formation of Barry four days later was enough to tell me that the Euro/EPS (which have recently been upgraded) performed much better than the GFS suite (newly upgraded FV3 operational and old GEFS) and CDN suite as regards genesis because the Euro suite was by far the most aggressive with its formation. A number of GEFS/GEPS runs even after that had no members with anything sub 1004 mb in the Gulf. The lowest SLP ended up being 991 mb officially.
So, big kudos to the Euro suite.
