Greetings,

I assume the problem you're talking about is having the barb/arrow stick out 
and overlap the side or bottom axis. Most plotting done using MetPy is based 
upon the matplotlib library, so that's really the resource you want to look at 
to see how to adjust the plots. I'd recommend taking a look at some the 
examples for the "spines":

  https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/index.html#spines

which is how matplotlib refers to the actual lines (with ticks, labels, etc) at 
the edge of the plots. This example in particular looks like it could be useful:

  https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/spines/spines_dropped.html

Hope this helps,

Ryan
