SFMR AND FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS FROM THE AIRCRAFT YIELD AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS. SOME SFMR VALUES WERE A LITTLE HIGHER...BUT THESE WINDS WERE RAIN CONTAMINATED AND WERE DISCARDED. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR BARRY TO STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY JUST BEFORE LANDFALL DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 18 HOURS. RAPID WEAKENING IS ANTICIPATED AFTER THE CENTER MOVES INLAND...BUT RAINS WILL CONTINUE. BARRY HAS BEEN MOVING WESTWARD ABOUT 5 TO 10 KNOTS DURING THE DAY... AND THIS GENERAL MOTION WITH A DECREASE IN FORWARS SPEED IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE UNTIL LANDFALL. ONCE INLAND...AND THE CENTER BECOMES DISRUPTED BY THE HIGH TERRAIN...THE REMNANT CIRCULATION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WESTWARD OVER THE STATE OF VERACRUZ UNTIL DISSIPATION. GLOBAL MODELS HAVE A NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO...AND THIS FLOW PATTERN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FORECAST WESTWARD MOTION OF THE TROPICAL STORM. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT TRACK AND WHETHER THE CYCLONE STRENGTHENS...THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING OVER A LARGE PORTION OF SOUTHERN MEXICO PRIMARILY IN THE STATE OF VERACRUZ DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT CENTER LOCATION OF THE CYCLONE.
