Hurricane Rosa moved toward Baja California on Saturday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Hurricane Rosa was located at latitude 22.4\u00b0N and longitude 118.9\u00b0W which put it about 440 miles (710 km) south-southwest of Punta Eugenia, Mexico.\u00a0 Rosa was moving toward the north at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 100 m.p.h. (160 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 120 m.p.h. (195 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 969 mb.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Rosa will move into an environment unfavorable for hurricanes on Sunday.\u00a0 Rosa will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is cooler than 26\u00b0C.\u00a0 In addition an upper level low near the west coast of the U.S. will produce southwesterly winds which will cause vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The combination of cooler water and more vertical wind shear will cause Hurricane Rosa to weaken.\u00a0 Rosa could weaken to a tropical storm by Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The upper low will steer Hurricane Rosa toward the northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Rosa could reach Baja California on Monday.\u00a0 It will likely be a tropical storm at that time.\u00a0 Even though it will weaken, Rosa will drop heavy rain over parts northern Baja California and the southwestern U.S.\u00a0 The heavy rain could cause flash floods.<\/p>\n
