On June 4, a trough of low pressure formed off the coast of southern Mexico. Two days later, showers and thunderstorms associated with the low gradually increased near the Gulf of Tehuantepec. By the morning of June 8, a closed and well-defined low-level circulation had developed within the disturbance, marking the formation of Tropical Storm Barbara. Barbara steadily strengthened into the next day, and by 14:00 UTC on June 9, had become a minimal Category 1 hurricane, while located about 155 mi (250 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Colima. Later that same day, however, the system weakened, and fell below hurricane strength. Then, on June 10, as Barbara moved through cooler waters and into a less favorable atmospheric environment, its deep convection diminished considerably, and by late that same day, it had degenerated to a remnant low.
