U.S. forecasters say the weakening and ill-defined depression came ashore south of Tampico with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.

Satellite images show that the storm should weaken as it nears the coast sometime overnight Sunday or early Monday. Even though the storm will weaken as it approaches land, it will still bring tropical storm conditions near the coast throughout Monday.

Barry made landfall as a tropical depression off the eastern Gulf Coast of Mexico on Sunday night, and was expected to bring heavy rains and flash flooding to the North American nation over the next few days.
