Remnants of Vance Dissipate in the Eastern Pacific
The remnants of Vance no longer had a well-defined center late Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, prompting the National Hurricane Center to issue its final advisory on the system. At 8 p.m. MST Thursday (0300 UTC Friday, Oct. 30, 2026), the remnants were centered about 190 miles south-southwest of Mazatlan, Mexico, and about 205 miles southeast of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, the center said in Advisory No. 35. Maximum sustained winds had decreased to near 30 mph (45 km/h), with higher gusts, as the system moved north-northeast at about 8 mph and a minimum central pressure of 1008 millibars.
There were no watches or warnings in effect, the center said. The remnant moisture was forecast to produce 1 to 2 inches of rain across central and southern Sinaloa, far southwestern Durango and far northwestern Nayarit through early Friday morning, Oct. 30, 2026, with isolated totals above 4 inches possible along the Sinaloa coast; the rain could cause flooding and mudslides in areas of steep terrain, the center said. Swells generated by the remnants were expected to raise the risk of life-threatening surf and rip currents along the coasts of southwestern and west-central Mexico and the southern Baja California Peninsula over the following day.
Moisture from the remnants was also forecast to boost rainfall over the southwestern United States and the southern Plains, with a threat of flash flooding over the next few days, the center said.
