Hurricane Barry (2019 - Bob's Scenario)

Hurricane Barry was the first July hurricane to make landfall the United States since Arthur in 2014. Barry formed from a trough of low pressure that originated over the central United States on July 11, and reached its peak intensity two days later. Barry caused significant flooding over Louisiana, but its name was not retired.

Meteorological History
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a trough of low pressure over Tennessee on July 6. On July 10, the NHC initiated advisories on a Potential Tropical Cyclone and issued Hurricane and Storm Surge Watches for the coast of Louisiana. After a reconnaissance aircraft located a small circulation, the disturbance was upgraded to Tropical Depression Two at 00:00 UTC June 11. Twelve hours later, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Barry. Although some northerly shear resulted in the center of circulation remaining near the northern edge of the convective mass, Barry steadily strengthened, reaching hurricane status at 00:00 UTC July 13. Barry then reached its peak intensity six hours later, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph and a minimum pressure of 982 mb.

Barry made landfall at approximately 12:00 UTC that same day on Marsh Island, Louisiana. Barry slowly weakened the next several days as it dropped copious rainfall, exceeding 12 inches in some areas. Barry became a remnant low at 00:00 UTC on July 17.
