Tropical Storm Barry (2007)

'''Tropical Storm Barry''' was a rapidly forming [[tropical cyclone]] that made [[landfall (meteorology)|landfall]] on [[Florida]], [[United States]], in early June 2007. The second [[tropical cyclone|named storm]] of the [[2007 Atlantic hurricane season]], Barry developed from a [[trough (meteorology)|trough]] of low pressure in the southeastern [[Gulf of Mexico]] on June 1. It tracked rapidly northeastward, reaching peak winds of {{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} before weakening and making landfall near [[Tampa Bay]] as a tropical depression. Barry quickly lost tropical characteristics after [[wind shear]] removed much of the [[convection]], and early on June 3, it completed the transition into an [[extratropical cyclone]]. The extratropical remnants tracked up the [[East Coast of the United States]], and were absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone on June 5.

The precursor trough produced heavy rainfall across the western Caribbean Sea, which on [[Cuba]] unofficially reached over {{convert|7.8|in|mm}}. Outer [[tropical cyclone#Background|rainbands]] in [[Pinar del Río Province]] injured three people and damaged 55 houses. In [[Florida]], Barry dropped a moderate amount of precipitation across the drought-ridden state; rainfall peaked at {{convert|6.99|in|mm}}. The rain caused some flooding and wet roads, which led to two indirect traffic fatalities. Rough seas killed one Florida surfer in [[Pinellas County, Florida|Pinellas County]]. In Florida and [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], the precipitation assisted firefighters in combating severe [[2007 Georgia/Florida wildfires|wildfires]]. Overall damage from the storm was minor.
