Tropical Storm Barry formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday the first day of hurricane season and the National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for a stretch of Florida's western coast.
The storm was about 320 miles southwest of Tampa about 5 p.m. and was moving north at around 12 mph with maximum sustained winds of about 45 mph.
Forecasters expected Barry to turn east and increase in speed over the next day, though no significant change in strength was anticipated before possible landfall.
"We're not looking for a hurricane," said Dave Roberts, a hurricane specialist at the Hurricane Center.
