Tropical Storm Barbara (2007)

Tropical Storm Barbara was a short-lived tropical storm that formed in the Eastern Pacific Ocean during the 2007 hurricane season. It developed from a tropical disturbance several hundred miles southwest of Mexico on July 2nd, 2007. The disturbance quickly organized, and it was designated Tropical Depression Three-E. Shortly thereafter, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Barbara.

Barbara moved generally northwestward, encountering unfavorable conditions such as increasing wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures. As a result, it only maintained tropical storm status for a brief period. The storm reached its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and a minimum central pressure of 1004 mbar.

Rapid weakening ensued, and Barbara was downgraded to a tropical depression on July 3rd. The storm degenerated into a remnant low pressure area later that same day. The remnants of Barbara dissipated completely on July 4th.

Because Barbara remained offshore and was relatively weak, it did not cause any significant impacts or reported damage along the coast of Mexico or elsewhere. There were no reports of casualties or injuries associated with the storm. The storm's main significance was its short-lived existence as a named tropical cyclone in the Eastern Pacific.
