Hurricane Rosa brought widespread flooding to northwestern Mexico and the Southwestern United States in late September 2018, leading to one death in Mexico and two in the U.S. state of Arizona. Rosa originated from an Atlantic tropical wave that crossed the West African coast on September6. The wave proceeded westward across the Atlantic, traversing Central America before entering the Gulf of Tehuantepec on September 22. It became a tropical storm three days later. Rosa entered a period of rapid intensification on the 27th, peaking as a Category4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) a day later. It thereafter weakened, making landfall in Baja California as a tropical depression on October 2, and split apart by the following day. There were tropical storm watches and warnings along the coast of Baja California, but the impact of Rosa was relatively minor, due to the weakness of the storm by the time it made landfall.
