Editor's Note: This news item was retrieved and first published through AL.com's website.
The National Hurricane Center announced the presence of Tropical Storm Barry as of Thursday morning. Forecasters also adjusted the storm’s path a little farther to the east, issued tropical storm and surge warnings. The hurricane center still expects Barry to strengthen and become a minimal hurricane before making landfall on Saturday in central Louisiana, with top winds of possibly 75 mph.
Al.com writer Leigh Morgan relates in her article, "Forecasters also adjusted the storm’s path a little farther to the east, issued tropical storm and surge warnings and extended tropical storm watches right up to the Alabama border. However there are no tropical storm or hurricane watches for Alabama at this time." The National Weather Service in Mobile has posted flash flood watches, high surf advisories and coastal flood advisories that will persist through the weekend.
