Hurricane Vance Eases Slightly, Creeping North-Northwest Off Mexico's Pacific Coast
If you have a Pacific Mexico trip coming up, watch Vance's progress, since the advisory tells interests along Mexico's southwestern coast to monitor it. The article names Colima and western Michoacán and Jalisco for rain and flooding risk through Thursday. It also warns of life-threatening surf and rip currents along southern and southwestern Mexico, so stay out of the water there and check your local weather office. The next advisory is due at 900 AM CST.
My read is that this is a watch-and-wait storm, not a cruise-disruption story. The advisory never mentions ships or itineraries, so anything beyond that would be speculation. The facts are modest: 85 mph winds, a slow 5 mph drift north-northwest, gradual weakening forecast, and no coastal watches or warnings. The real hazard sits on land and in the water. Rain of 2 to 4 inches, with isolated 7-inch totals, across Colima and western Michoacán and Jalisco is a flooding and mudslide risk on steep terrain. The swells could produce life-threatening rip currents. A storm crawling at 5 mph lingers, so the surf problem outlasts the headline wind speed. In your shoes, I would skip beach time along southern Mexico's coast and keep checking the advisories, with the next one due at 900 AM CST. I would not assume any itinerary change until your cruise line says so.
