Tropical Storm Roslyn gained strength off Mexico's Pacific coast and forecasters expected it to be a hurricane when it makes a likely weekend landfall between the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Roslyn’s maximum sustained winds had increased to 70 mph late Friday afternoon and predicted it would become a hurricane during the night.
The storm was centered about 280 miles south of Cabo Corrientes — the point of land jutting into the Pacific south of Puerto Vallarta — and moving west-northwest at 7 mph . Forecasters said Roslyn was expected to continue gaining force and could be a strong Category 2 hurricane before curving northward, brushing past Cabo Corrientes and then reaching the coast Saturday night or early Sunday.
Hurricane Orlene made landfall in roughly the same region, about 45 miles southeast of Mazatlan, on Oct. 3.The hurricane center said tropical storm-force winds extended out to 90 miles from Roslyn’s core. Mexico issued a hurricane warning covering a stretch of coast from a point south of Puerto Vallarta north to San Blas and for the Islas Marias.
