a turn to the north is expected later today as well and again on Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds at the moment are about 105 miles per

A low pressure area forms in Mexican Pacific waters with high chances of developing cyclone impact in the next 48 hours, affecting the northwest of the country.
Meanwhile, the cold front PTO No. 9 with a cold air mass causing a drop in temperature, affecting the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Tabasco mainly.
Forecasts for the Weekend
Saturday is expected to Tropical Storm Vance locate 920 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Guerrero.
The Cold Front Number 9 southeast and cross the Yucatan Peninsula, which will lead up to 25 mm rainfall in portions of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo; meanwhile, the cold air will spread over the north, northeast, east and center of the country, where cooler temperatures cause and event north winds of 50-60 km / h in the southern Gulf of Mexico and up 80 km / h on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

Messico: Zipolite la spiaggia dove il tempo si é fermato
Messico: Zipolite la spiaggia dove il tempo si é fermato
E’ conosciuta come la spiaggia della morte ma a dispetto del nome è un luogo dove la natura incontaminata offre uno scenario altamente suggestivo. E’ il litorale di Zipolite, considerata una delle più interessanti mete di tutto il Messico, luogo tranquillo dove intorno alla spiaggia non sono presenti grandi alberghi quanto piuttosto campeggi e piccoli locale come trattorie e ristorantini tipici, per gli amanti della tranquillità e del vero relax. Qui potrete sentirvi davvero in pace, sorseggiando michelada,raccogliendo qualche conchiglia o giocando a biliardo prima di andare a dormire.
La spiaggia è davvero splendida e suggestiva, apprezzata non solo dai turisti ma anche e soprattutto dagli appassionati di surf e windsurf; infatti le acque dell’Atlantico, in questa zona le onde sono davvero poderose: questo perchè il tratto di costa si trova a poca distanza dalla fossa oceanica e dunque è caratterizzato da forti correnti che spingono verso il largo. La spiaggia è caratterizzata da una striscia di sabbia finissima, un tempo nota come la spiaggia hippie perchè frequentata dai giovani che qui si ritrovavano, negli anni ’70, per consumare stupefacenti.
Potrete frequentarla non solo durante l’estate ma anche in bassa stagione, tra ottobre e novembre, grazie alle temperature sempre piuttosto elevate con la colonnina di mercurio che arriva a sfiorare i 30 gradi. Se durante l’estate il paese si riempie di turisti, nei mesi seguenti il paese si svuota e rimane particolarmente tranquillo, ideale per chi non vuole far altro che rilassarsi e assaggiare piatti tipici nei numerosi ristorantini locali. Da Zipolite potrete inoltre partire alla volta della Laguna della Ventanillae del Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga a Mazunte, due visite da non lasciarsi scappare durante la vostra vacanza nel caldo Messico.

Vance a Potential Heavy Rain Threat to Mexico
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:29 PM GMT on November 01, 2014
Satellite images show that Tropical Storm Vance has an expanding area of heavy thunderstorms that have improved in organization since Friday. Vance is over warm waters with low wind shear, so intensification into a Category 1 hurricane by Sunday is a good bet, but the storm's heaviest rains will remain well offshore from Mexico through Sunday. Vance will get pulled to the northeast by a trough of low pressure on Monday, but might not make it all the way to Mexico. The 8 am EDT Saturday run of theSHIPS model predicted that wind shear would remain low, 5 - 10 knots, though Monday, then ramp up significantly on Monday night and Tuesday as Vance gets caught up in the trough of low pressure that will sling it towerds Mexico. The higher wind shear will likely be able to tear Vance apart before landfall, making heavy rain the primary threat. In their 11 am EDT Saturday Wind Probability Forecast, NHC gave a 7 - 11% chance that Vance would bring tropical storm-force winds of 39+ mph to Puerto Vallarta and the tip of the Baja Peninsula. The 06Z Saturday run of the GFDL model predicted that Vance's moisture would bring a swath of heavy rains of 4 - 8" from just northwest of Puerto Vallarta into Texas, Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Nuri may brush Japan
In the Western Pacific, Tropical Storm Nuri is near typhoon strength, and is headed towards Japan. Nuri may pass close enough to Japan on Thursday to bring them heavy rain, but a direct hit appears unlikely.
Quiet in the Atlantic
The Atlantic is quiet today, with no areas of concern to discuss. None of the three reliable models for predicting tropical cyclone genesis predicts any development in the Atlantic over the next five days. With November at hand and El Niño-like atmospheric conditions in place, the odds of getting Tropical Storm Isaias before the end of the Atlantic hurricane season on November 30 are probably around 30%.
