DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Roslyn was located near latitude 16.9 North, longitude 105.8 West. Roslyn is now moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn toward the north-northwest and north is expected later today, followed by a faster north-northeastward motion tonight and on Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Roslyn will move parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico through this morning, then approach the coast of west-central Mexico, making landfall along this coastline tonight or Sunday morning. Satellite images indicate that Roslyn is rapidly intensifying, and maximum sustained winds have increased to near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued strengthening, possibly rapid, is forecast during the next day or so, and Roslyn is likely to be near or at major hurricane intensity when it nears the coast of Mexico. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 967 mb (28.56 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within the hurricane warning area by late today or early Sunday. Winds are expected to first reach tropical storm strength by midday today, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area beginning tonight or early Sunday, with tropical storm conditions possible by this evening. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm warning area today or tonight. RAINFALL: Roslyn is expected to produce the following rainfall totals across coastal areas of southwestern and west-central Mexico: Guerrero and Michoacán and the lower coast of Colima: 1 to 3 inches Upper coast of Colima, Jalisco, western Nayarit including Islas Marias, and southeastern Sinaloa: 4 to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 8 inches. Southern Durango into western Zacatecas: 1 to 3 inches with maximum amounts of 5 inches. This rainfall could lead to flash flooding and landslides in areas of rugged terrain. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Roslyn are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and will spread northward to the coast of west-central Mexico and the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
