Tropical Tropical Storm Barry

Another day over water and this thing would have been a major probably the strengthening today in spite of the unfavorable conditions

Yep. It's a mercy Barry was up against all that shear and dry air so far. We might have had a major cane on our hands, which would have literally been a worst case scenario.
 
I've not paid any attention since this morning... what's the chatter about "could have been a major with more time?" Is it just its current structure?

Yeah its come a long way since yesterday

Recon went home for some reason boo
 
Nice shift farther away from the SE! Guess the Mississippi River will be a mess, on top of all the rain they have already received. This storm will not make Cat1 , IMO, still looks raggedy and very close to shore.
 
Been watching Adair's stream a little since I woke up and it looked mostly like an extra nasty summer thunderstorm.

He does have damage now on an old hotel though.

Also, I swear it's not been called but on Levi's website, I swear he had it as a hurricane when I first looked. I don't think NHC called it (and also don't think it matters).

Edit: Well they just called hurricane now. Barely.
 
Barry appears to be scooting ashore slowly near New Iberia, south of Lafayette, LA. Also, radar shows the COC is finally beginning to move ashore. IMO, those in the path of this storm, who may have woken up today feeling the storm was going to be much better than predicted, need to be vigilant for the next 24 or so as Barry creeps inland.
 
I don’t remember seeing a storm classified as a hurricane that has zero convection around any side of the immediate c of c. Pretty amazing actually.

Yeah, it's kind of surreal down here with Barry. Not much rain last night. In an otherwise healthy storm, the rains should have begun yesterday afternoon with solid banding etc. At least we'll get less time with tropical storm conditions with Barry.

That’s what bathwater temps gets you.

Yeah, that’s about right normally. It’s radar presentation currently looks like an organizing depression or minimal tropical storm.
 
Well barely and it looks bizarre but i believe this is the first July hurricane landfall since 2008

Not seeing anything that screams cat 1. Kinda feels like NHC just wanted the 1st out of the way.

Well, they did have some verified wind reports on the LA coast to verify the decision, but I do see a little bias on their part to check off the first hurricane for 2019, maybe.

Ive never seen a hurricane with so many different vorts and circulations. Ive seen naked swirl hurricanes with strong convection on one side, but this thing is indeed ugly.
 
What's a little unsettling to me is that Barry's CDO has yet to fully come ashore. This area is likely to have the heaviest rains and highest winds, especially in the area of convection closest to the center. I just hope Barry doesn't stall over the area.
 
I wonder if this is the culprit for the higher winds reaching the ground. The abnormally dry air aloft(for tropical cyclones) aiding it.

Agree! Almost a “ pity “ naming! It’s radar and satellite presentation , doesn’t scream Hurricane
