DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1200 PM MDT (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Roslyn was
located near latitude 18.4 North, longitude 106.6 West. Roslyn is
moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). A turn
toward the north is expected later today and tonight, followed by a
faster motion toward the north-northeast on Sunday. On the forecast
track, the center of Roslyn will move parallel to the southwestern
coast of Mexico through midday today, then approach the coast of
west-central Mexico, likely making landfall along the coast of the
Mexican state of Nayarit Sunday morning.
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts. Roslyn is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Some strengthening is forecast this
afternoon. Although some weakening is possible beginning tonight,
Roslyn is expected to still be near or at major hurricane strength
when it makes landfall on Sunday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80
miles (130 km).
The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Reserve
Hurricane Hunter data is 955 mb (28.20 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within
the hurricane warning area by tonight and early Sunday. Winds
are expected to first reach tropical storm strength by this
afternoon, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to
completion.
Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area
on Sunday.
Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm
warning area south of Playa Perula today or tonight, and within the
warning area north of El Roblito on Sunday.
RAINFALL: Roslyn is expected to produce the following rainfall
totals across coastal areas of southwestern and west-central
Mexico:
Michoacán and the lower coast of Colima: 1 to 3 inches
Jalisco: 4 to 8 inches with maximum amounts of 10 inches along the
northern coast.
Upper coast of Colima, western Nayarit including Islas Marias and
southeastern Sinaloa: 4 to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 8 inches
Southern Durango into western Zacatecas: 1 to 3 inches with maximum
amounts of 5 inches.
This rainfall could lead to flash flooding and landslides in areas
of rugged terrain.
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding near and to the east of where the
center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be
accompanied by large and destructive waves.
SURF: Swells generated by Roslyn are affecting portions of the
coast of southwestern Mexico and will spread northward to the coast
of west-central Mexico and the southern portion of the Baja
California peninsula through the weekend. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

1234 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022
Valid 231200Z - 241200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and hail are possible
from the central Plains into the Upper Midwest Sunday evening into
early Monday morning. Additional isolated severe thunderstorms may
produce strong gusts and hail across parts of the southern Plains
early Monday morning.
...Central Plains...Lower/Mid MO Valley...Upper Midwest...
A strong large-scale upper trough will shift east from the western
U.S. toward the Plains on Sunday. An embedded shortwave trough
within this larger-scale flow will focus thunderstorm potential
across parts of the central Plains into the Upper Midwest. An
intense 50-70 kt southwesterly 850-700 mb low-level jet oriented
from the southern Plains to southwest IA during the afternoon will
spread northeast toward the Upper MS Valley/Great Lakes vicinity
overnight. Surface cyclogenesis will occur as a low lifts
north/northeast from NE toward northwest MN/northeast ND by Monday
morning.
Moderate southerly low-level flow will transport Gulf moisture
northward across the south-central states into the Upper Midwest,
where an antecedent dry airmass will be in place early Sunday.
Forecast guidance continues to vary regarding surface dewpoints,
with differences of around 5-8 deg F by late afternoon/evening.
There is also disparity in timing/progression of the surface cold
front, lending to further uncertainty regarding where convective
initiation will occur.
Despite questionable moisture quality and frontal position,
conditional severe potential will exist from central/eastern KS into
MN, aided by strong large-scale ascent associated with the ejecting
trough and contributing surface cold front, coupled with robust
vertical shear. Given the expected intense background flow/low-level
jet, strong gusts will be possible with even modest convection, but
especially so with any clusters/line segments that may develop.
...Southern Plains...
A southern stream shortwave moving across western Mexico will merge
with the base of the large-scale trough approaching the southern
Rockies. Increasing midlevel moisture and low-level warm advection
ahead of the surface front draped across western TX will support
late-period thunderstorm development across parts of northwest TX
into southern OK. MLCAPE increasing to 500-1000 J/kg coupled with
effective shear magnitudes greater than 35 kt will support organized
updrafts. Isolated strong gusts and small hail could accompany this
activity early Monday morning, and a Marginal risk has been
included.

Valid 221630Z - 231200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today and tonight.
...Discussion...
Significant amplification of an upper-level trough will occur over
the Great Basin/Rockies through tonight. Despite limited autumnal
moisture, ample forcing for ascent and steepening lapse rates will
lead to isolated thunderstorms, particularly across parts of the
Great Basin and Four Corners states later this afternoon and
evening. While some stronger convectively related wind gusts could
occur, the potential for severe thunderstorms will remain low.
Isolated thunderstorms will also remain possible today along the
coastal Pacific Northwest, and could also occur late tonight across
coastal North Carolina (but more so in the offshore Atlantic).

Valid 221700Z - 231200Z
A few minor adjustments to the outlook in Oklahoma and western North
Texas based on the latest guidance and Fridays fire activity. The
forecast elsewhere remains unchanged.
..Wendt.. 10/22/2022
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1214 AM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022/
...Synopsis...
Ahead of a deepening area of low pressure across the western US,
strong southwesterly surface winds are expected across the Central
and High Plains. Given the increase in winds, dry air mass, and
receptive fuels, an area of Elevated fire weather conditions is
expected on Saturday.
...Central and High Plains...
Southwesterly winds around 15-20 mph along with afternoon minimum
relative humidity around 15-20 percent will be possible across
portions of western Nebraska southward into eastern Colorado and
southern Kansas/west-central Oklahoma. Fuels across the
aforementioned region are receptive, with ERCs above the 95th
percentile. Similar weather conditions can be expected across the
Texas Panhandle, but recent rainfall has led to improvement in fuels
and precludes the need for an Elevated area.
...Southern California and Southern Nevada...
Recent model runs indicate that sustained winds could approach as
high as 20-30 mph across portions of the low deserts of southern
California and southern Nevada. Relative humidity will be marginal
with a few stations near-critical briefly. Due to the localized
threat area and lack of more robust fuels, an Elevated or Critical
area was not supported.

Hurricane Roslyn Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP192022
900 AM MDT Sat Oct 22 2022
Roslyn has intensified further during the past several hours, as
the hurricane continues to show a small well-defined eye inside of
a cold central dense overcast. Given the rate of intensification,
the actual intensity is a bit of a moving target. However, the
latest subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates are
currently in the 105-115 kt range, and based on the latest CIMSS
Advanced Dvorak Technique estimate the initial intensity is
increased to 115 kt. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter
aircraft is currently enroute to investigate Roslyn.
The initial motion is now north-northwestward, or 330/7 kt. The
track forecast philosophy is unchanged from the previous advisory.
Roslyn is expected to continue recurving around the western
periphery of a mid-level high centered over Mexico during the next
36 hours. The track guidance continues to indicate that the
hurricane will pass just offshore of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico,
tonight, and then accelerate north-northeastward on Sunday, likely
making landfall on the coast of the Mexican state of Nayarit. After
landfall, Roslyn or its remnants are expected to accelerate toward
the northeast over northern Mexico. The new forecast track has
mainly noise-level adjustments from the previous forecast, and it
lies near the various consensus models.
Conditions appear favorable for continued strengthening during the
next 6-12 h, and the new intensity forecast calls for Roslyn to
strengthen some more during that time. After that, increasing
southwesterly vertical shear and land interaction should cause some
weakening before landfall. However, Roslyn is still expected to be
at or near major hurricane strength when it makes landfall on
Sunday. Rapid weakening is expected after landfall as Roslyn moves
through the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidentals. The
intensity forecast calls for the system to become a remnant low by
48 h and dissipate soon thereafter. However, both of these could
occur earlier than currently forecast.
Key Messages:
1. Roslyn is forecast to be near or at major hurricane strength
when it passes near and makes landfall along the west-central coast
of Mexico Saturday night and Sunday, accompanied by damaging winds
and a dangerous storm surge. Preparations within the Hurricane
Warning area along the west-central coast of Mexico should be
rushed to completion.
2. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding and possible
landslides in areas of rugged terrain over coastal southwestern and
west-central Mexico.

Rivers are low across Iowa, showing more rocks and sand bars than water. In Ottumwa, the Army Corps of Engineers river gauge showed .08 of feet of water on the Des Moines River, as of Oct. 10.
“So right now we’re using all Des Moines river water for community water supply,” stated the general manager of the Ottumwa Water Works. “I know the river looks really really low right now but we obviously have a pool of water behind us because of the dam historically we have flows like this for extended periods of time.”
The Red Rock Dam was releasing 300 cubic feet per second, which is enough for Ottumwa. But the low flow did cause the hydroelectric plant to close, dropping revenue from electricity sales. They budgeted to receive about $450,000 for the year, but were at a little over $300,000 at the present.

The flashboards on the Des Moines River were put up in the summer and will remain up through the winter to ensure adequate water supplies at the Des Moines River intake and pumping facility.
WHO-TV NBC 13 Des Moines (Iowa), Oct. 11, 2022
The level of the Raccoon River continued to fall, which is the primary water source for Des Moines. Officials with Des Moines Water Works were monitoring the river and anticipate needing to put up the flashboards across a low-head dam next week to keep drawing water from the river. This will the third consecutive year that the measure was needed. Prior to the last three years, the flashboards were last used in 2013, which was also the third of three consecutive years that the boards were used.
