Hurricane Barbara Downgraded to Strong Post-Tropical Storm

MIAMI, FL — Hurricane Barbara, which briefly became the first confirmed hurricane of the 2025 Eastern Pacific season early Monday, has now been officially downgraded to a strong post-tropical storm, according to the TNW News Operations Hurricane Division and the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The storm, now circulating over open waters in the eastern Pacific west of Mexico, poses no threat to land, including the Gulf of America, the United States, or Mexico, at this time.

"Barbara is now a non-tropical low, but still maintains strong wind and wave energy over the open ocean," said TNW Hurricane Division Chief Todd Nardone during this morning’s 7:00 AM briefing.

“We continue to monitor for any residual marine impacts, but there is no threat to the U.S. coastline. TNW’s First ALERT™ 1 Technology confirms this downgrade and has been trademarked for internal forecast guidance.”

Key Details:

• Name: Post-Tropical Storm Barbara
• Former Category: Category 1 Hurricane
• Current Status: Strong Post-Tropical Storm
• Location: Eastern Pacific Ocean, west of Mexico
• Threat Level: None to Mexico or the U.S.
• Wave & Wind Impact: Possible for shipping lanes; no coastal impacts expected

The NHC and other meteorological media outlets back up this information, confirming that Barbara’s downgrade is supported by satellite wind data and surface observations.

Barbara’s brief status as a hurricane makes it the first verified hurricane of the 2025 season, though its lifecycle was short and uneventful for land areas.
