 Tropical Storm Barbara was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall during the 2007 Pacific hurricane season . The second storm of the season , Barbara developed from a small low pressure area on May 29 about 235 miles ( 380 km ) southeast of Acapulco , Mexico . The system drifted southward before turning to a steadily eastward motion , and quickly intensified into a tropical storm . Increased wind shear weakened Barbara , though it re @-@ organized to attain peak winds of 50 mph ( 85 km / h ) before moving ashore just west of the border of Mexico and Guatemala . It rapidly weakened over land , and on June 2 the National Hurricane Center discontinued advisories on the storm . Despite expectations that the storm would attain hurricane status , Barbara moved ashore as a small , weak tropical storm . It produced locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds , and in most locations damage was minor . However , in southern Mexico , the rainfall destroyed large areas of cropland , with crop damage totaling 200 million pesos ( 2007 MXN , $ 55 million 2007 USD ) . In El Salvador , four people were killed by storm @-@ induced floods .
