MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Roslyn formed Thursday off Mexico's southern Pacific coast, and forecasters expect it will strengthen to a hurricane and hit land somewhere near the resort of Puerto Vallarta over the weekend or early next week.
The United States National Hurricane Center said Roslyn had winds of about 40 mph Thursday and was centred about 175 miles south of the resort of Zihuatanejo.
The storm was moving west at six mph, but atmospheric conditions are likely to steer Roslyn on a more northerly course in the coming days.
There were no storm warnings or watches in effect yet, and there was some uncertainty about the storm's path. Roslyn could have winds as high as 100 mph when it draws near land.
