TRMM captured this image of Hurricane Barbara several hours after it made landfall. The image was taken at 6:46 PDT on May 29 (01:46 UTC 30 May) 2013 and shows the horizontal distribution of rain intensity within the storm. The image shows no evidence of an eye and areas of mostly light (blue) to moderate (green) rain within the storm. Localized areas of heavier rain are evident inland northwest of the center and along the coast where the storm's circulation is drawing moist air ashore.

Credit: NASA/SSAI, Hal Pierce ---- NASA Satellites See Hurricane Barbara Come Ashore and Fizzle Hurricane Barbara recently made landfall along the southern Pacific coast of Mexico and NASA’s TRMM and Suomi NPP satellites captured rainfall rates within the storm, and a night-time image of landfall. NOAA’s GOES satellites provided images that were made into an animation showing the landfall and movement across Mexico into the Bay of Campeche on May 31. According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the center of Hurricane Barbara came ashore around 19:50 UTC (12:50 PDT) on Wednesday, May 29 about 35 km (~20 miles) west of Tonala, Mexico. At landfall, Barbara was a minimal Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
