695 WTPZ42 KNHC 300232 TCDEP2 Remnants Of Vance Discussion Number 35 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP222026 800 PM MST Thu Oct 29 2026 Highly sheared convection associated with Vance has stretched its low-level circulation to the point where it no longer has a well-defined center. Thus, Vance no longer meets the criteria of a tropical cyclone and this will be the final NHC advisory the system. Satellite imagery continues to show some puffs of deep convection just east of the remnants of Vance, and this activity may persist until the circulation fully dissipates. Vance's remnants are estimated to be moving north-northeastward towards the mainland Mexican coast. Lingering showers and thunderstorms from its remnant moisture are expected to continue impacting west-central Mexico and move into the U.S. Southern Plains and New Mexico through the next day or so. For additional information on the remnants, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI and WMO header FZPN01 KWBC. Key Messages: 1. Periods of heavy rainfall associated with Vance's remnants will impact portions of western Mexico during the next day or two. 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. 2. Moisture carried northeastward from Vance's remnants will produce heavy rain across portions of the U.S. Southern Plains and New Mexico today into Friday.
