On June 8, a tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa, moving quickly westward without development.
During the evening hours of June 15, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a large area of disturbed weather in association with a tropical wave over the southwestern Caribbean Sea.
That day, a low pressure area developed just north of Panama.
Drifting west-northwest, environmental conditions were expected to be favorable for organization, but the system moved over eastern Nicaragua on June 16.
Despite moving over land, the circulation and convection became better organized, and after it emerged over open waters, the system developed into Tropical Depression Two at 1200 UTC on June 17 about 25 mi (45 km) north-northwest of La Ceiba, Honduras.
Located about 60 mi (95 km) east of Monkey River Town, Belize, the depression was not expected to undergo significant strengthening.
Failing to intensify, the depression made landfall in southern Belize near Big Creek late on June 17 with winds estimated at 35 mph (55 km/h).
Despite a waning structure, the NHC noted that if the system emerged into the Bay of Campeche, re-development and intensification was plausible.

While traversing the southern Yucatán Peninsula, the system nearly degenerated into a remnant low during the afternoon of June 18; however, as it neared water, sufficient convection redeveloped to maintain the system as a tropical depression.
The circulation contracted over land and emerged into the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche that day.
The system became increasingly organized as it turned westward in response to a mid-level ridge over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.
A Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance mission into the depression during the afternoon of June 19 revealed gale-force winds, prompting the NHC to upgrade and name the system Tropical Storm Barry.
Based on a reconnaissance flight and Dvorak estimates, it was estimated that Barry attained peak winds of 75 km/h (45 mph) late on June 19.
At 1115 UTC on June 20, Barry made landfall at Laguna La Mancha, just north of Veracruz, Mexico.
Hours after moving inland, Barry weakened to a tropical depression as it interacted with the high terrain of Mexico.
The center of circulation became increasingly ill defined, with the majority of convection located well away from the center.
Late on June 20, Barry dissipated over the Mexican state of Puebla.
