TROPICAL DEPRESSION BARRY DISCUSSION NUMBER  18
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
11 AM EDT MON AUG 06 2001
 
BARRY CONTINUES TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY.  HIGHEST SUSTAINED WIND REPORTS 
OVER THE GULF ARE DOWN TO ABOUT 25 KT.  SIMILAR VALUES...WITH GUSTS 
TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE...ARE PROBABLY OCCURRING IN THE STRONG 
CONVECTION TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER AND THE VIGOROUS BAND IN 
THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT.  ON THIS BASIS...BARRY IS DOWNGRADED TO A 
TROPICAL DEPRESSION.

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE FORWARD 
SPEED OF BARRY HAS INCREASED...TO 335/13...WHICH LESSENS THE 
IMMEDIATE THREAT OF A MAJOR INLAND FLOODING EVENT.  HOWEVER...THE 
MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS SHOULD SOON BEGIN TO SLOW 
THE MOTION OF THE SYSTEM...AND THIS COULD INCREASE THE FLOODING 
THREAT IN ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS.
