Barry's mid-level circulation is still drifting about in central Texas. Precipitable water levels throughout this part of the state also remain incredibly high. Despite several days of ongoing convection and extreme rainfall, the atmosphere is not yet tapped out, given the still very favorable parameters, and flooding remains on the table at least during the early part of the new week.

Documentation of this extreme event is rightfully tracing it back to Barry. Even though the tropical storm was about as marginal as they look on satellite, it did qualify as a tropical cyclone, was a bona fide tropical cyclone, and sadly, history reminds us time and again how often the weak ones and/or the "post-tropical" ones go on to deliver the worst impacts.

As noted in the Wikipedia page about the July 2025 Central Texas Floods :
Quote:

"Late on July 3, 2025, the remnant mid-level circulation of Atlantic Tropical Storm Barry became embedded within a broader mid-level trough containing tropical east Pacific remnant moisture. This system developed into thunderstorms which stalled over Central Texas causing heavy rains that caused deadly flooding in that region on July 4–6, especially along the Guadalupe River."



Certainly much can and will be learned about how to better alert the public of weather dangers, but that is a topic for an entirely different thread. What this thread can point to however, is an argument to make for actually retiring the name Barry, which would put a spotlight on the need for everyone to take even these weak ones and/or post-tc ones as seriously as they deserve to be taken.
