Meanwhile in the Pacific, a system offshore from southern Mexico is forecast to become a tropical depression or tropical storm by sometime on June 29, the hurricane center said. The system, a few hundred miles south-southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, is forecast to bring heavy rains to parts of Central America and southern Mexico.

Barry, the second named storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season, became a tropical depression by Sunday night, when it made landfall shortly before 11 p.m. ET. It made landfall over Mexico's east coast about 15 miles south-southeast of Tampico, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Flossie had maximum sustained winds of 185 kph (115 mph) and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Its higher wind speeds made Flossie a major hurricane, which are classified as Category 3 or above, with winds of at least 111 mph (180 kph).
