 REMNANTS OF BARBARA DISCUSSION NUMBER  10
 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP022013
 200 PM PDT THU MAY 30 2013
 
 THREE SURFACE OBSERVING SITES NEAR COATZACOALCOS MEXICO HAVE BEEN
 PERSISTENTLY REPORTING WINDS FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST...YET
 HIGH-RESOLUTION VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES HAVE BEEN SUGGESTING A
 WEAK CIRCULATION CENTERED TO THE EAST OF THESE SITES.  APPARENTLY
 THE LATTER CIRCULATION IS EITHER NOT AT THE SURFACE OR IS EXTREMELY
 WEAK AND ILL DEFINED.  SINCE BARBARA DOES NOT HAVE A WELL-DEFINED
 CENTER OF SURFACE CIRCULATION AND LACKS SUFFICIENT ORGANIZED DEEP
 CONVECTION...IT NO LONGER QUALIFIES AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE...AND
 ADVISORIES ARE BEING DISCONTINUED.  OUR OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT IS
 THAT BARBARA DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO AS A TROPICAL
 CYCLONE.
 
 ALTHOUGH THE CYCLONE HAS DISSIPATED...DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED
 WITH THE REMNANTS OF BARBARA IS LIKELY TO PERSIST OVER SOUTHEASTERN
 MEXICO AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AMERICA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
 DAYS...AND A HEIGHTENED RISK OF DANGEROUS FLOODING AND MUD SLIDES
 WILL CONTINUE OVER THIS REGION.
