Hurricane remnants to bring more rain
By EMILY BALSER
Remnants of Hurricane Barry are expected to bring more rain to Western Pennsylvania this week — possibly as soon as Tuesday — as the region is still drying out from last week’s heavy storms.
Barry strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 75 mph by Saturday morning when it hit Louisiana and caused flooding and power outages.
Lee Hendricks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Moon, said the Barry weather system was expected to merge with another system out of the Great Lakes.
Hendricks said it was difficult Monday to pinpoint the path the storm would take, but the region could see a half-inch of rain Tuesday and heavier rain Wednesday night into Thursday.
