'''[[Tropical Storm Barry (2007)|Tropical Storm Barry]]''' was a rapidly forming [[tropical cyclone]] that made [[landfall (meteorology)|landfall]] on [[Florida]] in early June. The second [[Atlantic hurricane|Atlantic]] [[tropical cyclone|named storm]] of the [[2007 Atlantic hurricane season]], Barry developed from a [[trough (meteorology)|trough]] of low pressure in the southeastern [[Gulf of Mexico]] on June 1. It tracked rapidly northeastward, reaching peak winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) before weakening and making landfall near [[Tampa Bay]] as a tropical depression. Barry quickly lost tropical characteristics after [[wind shear]] removed much of the convection, and early on June 3 it completed the transition into an [[extratropical cyclone]]. The extratropical remnants tracked up the [[East Coast of the United States]], and were absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone on June 5. The precursor trough produced heavy rainfall across the western Caribbean Sea, which on [[Cuba]] unofficially reached over 7.8 inches (200 mm). Outer [[tropical cyclone#Physical structure|rainbands]] in [[Pinar del Río Province]] injured three and damaged 55 houses. In [[Florida]], Barry dropped moderate precipitation across the drought-ridden state that peaked at 6.99 inches (178 mm). The rainfall caused some flooding and wet roads, which led to two indirect traffic fatalities. Rough seas killed one surfer in [[Pinellas County, Florida|Pinellas County]]. In Florida and [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], the precipitation assisted firefighters in combating severe [[2007 Georgia/Florida wildfires|wildfires]]. Overall damage from the storm was minor.
