The National Hurricane Center, which said Barry had became a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour on Saturday morning, added the storm was likely to weaken within 24 to 36 hours. The storm could still bring dangerous flooding and storm surge to coastal regions southwest of New Orleans and to Baton Rouge and Lafayette.

Predictions for when the center of the storm would make landfall were pushed back from sunrise to late morning or early afternoon as Barry crawled across the Gulf Coast at about 3 mph, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said.
