Hurricane Roslyn, barreling towards Mexico as a major Category 4 storm, is expected to make landfall.
Roslyn was packing maximum sustained winds of 125 mph early Sunday morning as it churned toward Mexico’s Pacific coast, according to the National Hurricane Center. The powerful hurricane was about 80 miles to the southwest of Tepic as of 5 a.m. ET Sunday. On its current forecast track, Roslyn’s center is expected to approach the coast of west-central Mexico, likely making landfall along the coast of Nayarit Sunday morning, according to the hurricane center.
A hurricane warning is in effect for Las Islas Marias – an archipelago roughly 60 miles off the mainland coast – and for the region from Playa Perula to Escuinapa. A hurricane watch is in effect for the area north of Escuinapa to Mazatlan. “Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion,” the National Hurricane Center said. Significant rainfall is also expected, which could lead to flash flooding and landslides, according to the forecast.
