SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Interests in the northern and central Baja California peninsula and northwestern Sonora should continue to monitor the progress of Rosa. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Rosa was located near latitude 29.3 North, longitude 114.9 West. The depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 10 mph (17 km/h). This motion with an increase in forward speed is expected today. On the forecast track, the center of Rosa will move across the Baja California peninsula and into the northern Gulf of California this morning. Rosa's remnants are then expected to move across the Desert Southwest by tonight. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast and Rosa is expected to become a remnant low over northern Mexico or the southwestern United States later today. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Rosa is expected to produce the following total rainfall accumulations into Wednesday: Baja California and northwestern Sonora: 3 to 6 inches, isolated 10 inches. Central and Southern Arizona: 2 to 4 inches. Isolated 6 inch totals are possible in the mountains of Central Arizona. Rest of the Desert Southwest, Central Rockies, and Great Basin: 1 to 2 inches, isolated 4 inches. These rainfall amounts may produce life-threatening flash flooding. Dangerous debris flows and landslides are also possible in mountainous terrain. WIND: Tropical-storm-force wind gusts are possible over the central portions of the Baja California peninsula this morning, especially over higher elevations. SURF: Swells generated by Rosa will affect portions of the coasts of southwestern Mexico, most of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula, and southern California through today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
