 ARLB030 Hurricane Watch Net Activates As Barry Approaches Gulf Coast

 The Hurricane Watch Net activated at 1800z (2 PM Eastern Daylight
 Time) Sunday, August 5, 2001, as Tropical Storm Barry strengthened
 in the Gulf of Mexico. Barry is expected to make landfall as a
 hurricane along the Florida Panhandle Monday morning, according to
 the National Weather Service.

 On 14.325 MHz, the Hurricane Watch Net gathers real-time weather
 information that is relayed via National Hurricane Center station
 W4EHW to hurricane forecasters. The National Weather Service
 requested the activation as Barry, which had been drifting
 erratically in the Gulf, dramatically strengthened and turned
 northward this morning.

 Hurricane Warnings have been posted along the Florida Gulf Coast
 from Pascagoula, Mississippi, to the mouth of the Ochlockonee River
 in Florida. The net will accept reports from in or near the affected
 region, according to Hurricane Watch Net Manager Jerry Herman,
 N3BDW.
