inches).

Maximum sustained winds are near 25 mph (35 km/h) with higher gusts.
Further weakening is forecast during the next 24 hours. Barry could
maintain a weak surface circulation as it tracks toward the Ohio
Valley, and a threat of flash flooding is forecast to persist to
the east and south of the center. A band of very heavy rainfall
appears possible over Arkansas tonight and Tuesday.


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Barry is expected to produce additional rain
accumulations of 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum amounts
of 8 inches across Arkansas, western Tennessee and Kentucky,
southeast Missouri, and northwest Mississippi.

In Texas and Louisiana, Barry will produce only minor additional
