Hurricane Roslyn slammed into west-central Mexico on Sunday
morning, “bringing damaging winds, a life-threatening storm
surge and flooding rains,” forecasters said.

Roslyn made landfall around 7:20 a.m. ET near Santa Cruz in
northern Nayarit state.

The major hurricane whipped maximum sustained winds of 120 mph,
the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. A “major
hurricane” is one that has maximum sustained winds of at least
111 mph.

As of 8 a.m. ET Sunday, Roslyn was about 90 kilometers (55
miles) northwest of Tepic, Mexico. It was moving north-northeast
at 26 kph (16 mph).

“Roslyn is expected to produce a life-threatening storm surge
with significant coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds
through today,” the hurricane center said Sunday.

“Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves,” forecasters said. And swells are likely to
cause “life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”

But there’s a bit of good news for residents who live inland.
“Now that Roslyn has made landfall, rapid weakening is expected
as the hurricane moves farther inland,” the hurricane center
said.

Roslyn formed off the western coast of Mexico and its sustained
wind speed increased by 60 mph in a 24-hour period from Friday
to Saturday morning – a rapid intensification.

The hurricane has been tracking similarly to Hurricane Orlene,
which made landfall October 3 just north of the Nayarit-Sinaloa
border.
