DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1200 AM MDT (0600 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Roslyn was located by an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 20.5 North, longitude 106.4 West. Roslyn is moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h), and a faster motion toward the north-northeast is expected today. On the forecast track, the center of Roslyn will approach the coast of west-central Mexico, likely making landfall along the coast of the Mexican state of Nayarit this morning. Maximum sustained winds remain near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts. Roslyn is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Although some weakening is possible early today, Roslyn is expected to be at or near major hurricane intensity when it makes landfall. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km). The minimum central pressure reported from Air Force Hurricane Hunter dropsonde data is 958 mb (28.29 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within the hurricane warning area within the next few hours. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area today. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm warning area south of Playa Perula through this morning and within the warning area north of Escuinapa later today. RAINFALL: Roslyn is expected to produce the following rainfall totals across coastal areas of southwestern and west-central Mexico: Michoacán and the lower coast of Colima: 1 to 3 inches. Jalisco: 4 to 8 inches with maximum amounts of 10 inches along the northern coast. Upper coast of Colima, 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: Roslyn is expected to produce a life-threatening storm surge with 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, west-central Mexico, and the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
