Forecasters are watching an area around Florida's Gulf and Atlantic coasts for tropical development during the July 4 weekend.

Heavy rainfall, strong winds, and localized flooding are concerns for eastern Mexico, particularly with the expectation of up to 45 mph winds at landfall.

Tropical Storm Barry made landfall early on Monday local time, forecasters said, just south of Tampico, Mexico. The storm was expected to bring heavy rains to the eastern coast of Mexico in the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center. Barry formed on Sunday and was the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
