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).
