Tropical Storm Barry Expected to Bring Heavy Rain to Mexico
Tropical Storm Barry formed on Sunday, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The storm was expected to bring heavy rains to the eastern coast of Mexico in the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the Gulf Coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. The storm was expected to bring three to six inches of rain, with potentially up to 10 inches in some isolated locations, through Monday. Forecasters warned the rain could produce life-threatening mudslides. The storm is expected to make landfall sometime late on Sunday or early on Monday local time, forecasters said. The Atlantic hurricane season started on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. It has had a slow start, with only two storms, both at the end of June. In late May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the parent agency of the National Weather Service, predicted that this would be an above-average season, with 13 to 19 named storms. Last year, there were 18 named storms, 11 of which became hurricanes. Five of those hurricanes became what the Hurricane Center calls 'major,' or Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The Eastern Pacific, where hurricane season began on May 15, has been off to a busy start. Storms that form off the west coast of North America typically get started before their counterparts in the Atlantic, and there have been five already this year: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila and Erick, which hit Mexico's West Coast this month as a strong Category 3 hurricane. Seasons in both oceans run through Nov. 30. Tracking Tropical Storm Barry See the likely path and wind arrival times for Barry.

4 tornadoes confirmed near Minneapolis after storms move through region
Tornado sirens woke up Minnesota residents on June 29 after several small tornadoes were spotted south of Minneapolis. Early Sunday morning, from 12:15-12:45 a.m. local time, four tornadoes were spotted in Carver County, Minnesota, located southwest of Minneapolis, Mike Griesinger, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service Twin Cities office, told USA TODAY. The tornadoes were short-lived, with winds of 80 to 90 mph. One structure was damaged, but the storms were weak and mainly caused damage to trees, Griesinger said. Another afternoon of storms is expected today, however these will likely be more isolated-scattered compared to last night's line. The strongest storms could contain large hail & damaging winds. After today's active weather, things will start to quiet down #mnwx #wiwx — NWS Twin Cities (@NWSTwinCities) June 29, 2025 While small tornadoes are not expected to occur again, the area may experience thunderstorms on Sunday, according to Griesinger. But the storms could be pushed to Wisconsin by a weak front. The confirmed tornadoes in Minnesota on Sunday come on the heels of a heat wave that broke daily record high temperatures across the Midwest and eastern part of the U.S. On Saturday, June 28, "all severe hazards" were possible across southern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota as scattered thunderstorms moved over the region, according to the Storm Prediction Center. The Minnesota tornadoes did not cause extensive property damage, but Griesinger said this is a great reminder of why people should have multiple forms of warning about incoming tornadoes, even at night. While tornado alarms did sound throughout the county, there are other ways to be informed about severe weather. Minneapolis residents can sign up for Smart911 alerts to receive notifications about severe weather via the following methods, according to the City of Minneapolis' website. To sign up for emergency alerts, text MPLSAlerts to 77295 or create a Smart911 profile on its website. Contributing: Jeanine Santucci, USA TODAY Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.
