Tropical Storm Vance Brings Heavy Rain and Flood Risk to Western Mexico

Tropical Storm Vance, currently a highly sheared system, is impacting portions of western Mexico with periods of heavy rainfall. This rainfall may produce flooding and mudslides across central and southern Sinaloa, far southwestern Durango, and far northwestern Nayarit, especially in areas along steep terrain. Vance is expected to weaken to a post-tropical remnant low within 24 hours as it approaches the coast of northwestern Mexico. Swells generated by Vance are also expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along coastal areas.
