Satellites See Tropical Storm Barry Form in the Bay of Campeche
The second tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season formed close to where the second storm of the Eastern Pacific season died, in the Bay of Campeche.
Tropical Storm Barbara fell apart after crossing Mexico and moving into the Bay of Campeche two weeks ago, and now the second named storm of the Atlantic season formed there. Tropical Storm Barry strengthened from tropical depression 2 as of 1:45 p.m. EDT on June 19.
NOAA's GOES-13 satellite captured a visible image of Tropical Storm Barry just after it became a tropical storm on June 19. The GOES-13 image showed that Barry had attained better circulation in the last 24 hours. The image was created by NASA's GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. -- NASA
