<p>Residents and visitors to the Southeast will have to watch more than fireworks this week as a low pressure system tries to develop toward the holiday weekend, possibly turning into a tropical system thereafter. Regardless of development, heavy rain and rough surf could pose hazards to the region by Friday or over the holiday weekend.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-29 06-52-57-1751201668827.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>As a cold front drops south to end the week, it looks to stall in northern Florida, creating opposing surface winds over very warm Gulf waters.

<p>While the Eastern Pacific has made most of the headlines in the western hemisphere so far this hurricane season, activity in the Atlantic is starting to make some waves. After the quick formation and dissipation of Andrea in the central Atlantic last week, <strong>Tropical Storm Barry</strong> formed earlier Sunday morning before making landfall Sunday night.</p><h1><strong>ATLANTIC</strong></h1><p><strong>Barry </strong>made landfall as a tropical depression 15 miles south-southeast of Tampico, Mexico, at 10:00 PM CDT on Sunday night with sustained winds of 35 mph and a central pressure of 1007 mb. Heavy rain and isolated flash flooding will be the main impacts of this system. As far as rainfall totals, Barry, or its remnants, is expected to produce rainfall of 3 to 6 inches, with some areas seeing up to 10 inches. Tropical alerts have been discontinued by the government of Mexico.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 203609-1751251164837.png"></p><p>Systems only get names if they reach tropical storm status (sustained winds over 39 mph) or higher. The next name up on the list in the Atlantic Basin is Chantal.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 090213-1751209339048.png"></p><p>Although the Atlantic is off to a slow start, this is not unusual for June. Historically, tropical activity in the Atlantic does not typically ramp up until later in the summer, particularly in August and September, with the peak occurring around the 15th of September.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-29 104849-1748537876634.png">For now, the quiet beginning to the season is considered perfectly normal.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span>The early season will more often see more tropical storms than hurricanes, but hurricanes can form and impact the United States, so it's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/hurricane-prep-week-2025"><u>always best to be prepared</u></a>.</p><p>NOAA and Colorado State are expecting an above-average season in the Atlantic Basin. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/noaa-predicts-above-average-2025-hurricane-season">Click here to read more.</a></p><h1>EASTERN PACIFIC</h1><p>The 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is off to a record-breaking start, with five named storms: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila, and Erick.

<p>Frontal systems have been crossing the northern tier of the country this week, spurring strong and severe storms as they progress from west to east.

The upper-level "heat dome" that has been steering storms westward over the past few days is being replaced by an upper-level low. The lift associated with this feature will create thunderstorm development each afternoon with daytime heating. Northern Georgia and up through the Smokies remain under a <strong>Marginal</strong> Risk for severe thunderstorms overnight.
