Tropical Storm Barry has formed in the Southwestern Gulf of America and is the second storm of this Atlantic hurricane season, but it's no threat to Southeast Texas.
The National Hurricane Center says that because of strong high pressure over much of Texas, the storm will likely move north and west into Mexico.
That said, our rain chances increase beginning on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, with a chance of rain reaching 80% and some flooding possible in Southeast Texas.
On Space City Weather, Eric Berger wrote:
”Moisture associated with the tropical low pressure system should help to increase rain chances on Sunday, and possibly into Monday.
"This, as well, is not of too much concern. Overall I would expect accumulations for areas south of I-10 to average 0.5 inch or less on Sunday, with lower totals further inland. However, at this time of year, especially with tropical rainfall, we can see rain totals pile up quickly. So it would not surprise me to see a few isolated areas pick up a couple of inches of rain on Sunday, which would briefly cause some ponding on streets and in parking lots."
