Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On September 25, 2018, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) announced the formation of Tropical Depression Twenty-E about 365 miles (590 km) south southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The system quickly strengthened and was named Tropical Storm Rosa.

By the morning of September 28, Rosa had become a strong hurricane, with winds peaking at about 144 mph (231 km/h), making it a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. According to the NHC, at 8:00 a.m. PDT, Hurricane Rosa was located about 640 mi (1,015 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. It was moving northwest at 315 degrees at 7 mph (11 km/h). Over the next several days, Rosa turned more towards the northeast and faced ever increasing wind shear, causing the storm to weaken.

As of the evening of October 1, the center of Rosa was about 50 mi (80 km) west-northwest of Punta Eugenia, Mexico, and was bringing flooding rains to portions of Baja California, Sonora, and the southwestern United States, according to the NCH. Maximum sustained winds were at 40 mph (65 km/h) and Rosa was moving north northeast at 10 mph (17 km/h). Rosa is expected to bring large swells to the coastlines and significant rain, with potential flooding, from Baja Peninsula to the southwestern United States over the next several days.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Hurricane Rosa on September 28 when the storm was at near-peak strength. The storm sported a large cloud-filled central eye with convective bands curling tightly into the center.
