Tropical storm Roslyn is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by late on Friday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said, as it moves up central Mexico towards tourist resorts on its Pacific coast.
Hurricane conditions could hit the coast between San Blas, on Mexico's Nayarit Riviera, down to Perula beach in Jalisco state, home to the resort city of Puerto Vallarta, the Miami-based weather forecaster said on Thursday.
Jalisco's government said tourism on the coast and mountainous areas had been prohibited over the weekend, and it asked people to avoid going to beaches. It said 300 civil protection officials were on standby.
