DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Roslyn was
located near latitude 16.2 North, longitude 103.8 West.  Roslyn is
moving toward the west-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this 
general motion is expected to continue today.  A turn toward the 
northwest and north-northwest is forecast tonight and Saturday, 
followed by a northward and then north-northeastward motion 
Saturday night and Sunday.  On the forecast track, the center of 
Roslyn will move parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico 
today and tonight, and pass near and make landfall along the coast 
of west-central Mexico Saturday night and Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Rapid strengthening is expected during the next 
day or so, and Roslyn is forecast to become a hurricane later 
today.  Roslyn is expected to still be a hurricane when it reaches 
the coast of west-central Mexico on Sunday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast
within the hurricane warning area by late Saturday.  Winds are
expected to first reach tropical storm strength by midday Saturday,
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 Saturday night or early Sunday, with tropical storm
conditions possible by Saturday evening.
 
Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm
warning area on Saturday.
 
RAINFALL:  Roslyn is expected to produce the following rainfall
totals across coastal areas of southwestern and west-central
Mexico:
 
Guerrero and Michoacan: 1 to 3 inches
Colima and Jalisco: 2 to 4 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches
Nayarit including Islas Marias and southeastern Sinaloa: 4 to 6
inches with maximum amounts of 8 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.
