Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 00:02 · Archive
Tropical Storm Vance, formerly a Category 2 hurricane, is churning off Mexico's southwest Pacific coast threatening heavy rain and flash flooding.
Tropical Storm Vance has weakened from a Category 2 hurricane but continues to threaten Mexico's Pacific coast. The storm was located about 315 miles west-southwest of Acapulco on Sunday with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
The system threatened heavy rain and flash flooding across the Mexican states of Colima, Nayarit and Sinaloa, as well as parts of Michoacán, Jalisco and Durango. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches could produce flooding and mudslides, particularly over steep terrain. Isolated rainfall totals of up to 7 inches were possible in some areas, the hurricane center said.
Vance was moving to the northwest and expected to turn northward in the coming days. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Olana formed in the central Pacific but posed no threat to land.
