00:00Tropical storm Vance could grow into a major hurricane as it moves toward Mexico.
00:04Even offshore, the storm could bring heavy rain, rough surf, and gusty winds to the coast.
00:10AccuWeather forecasts Vance will quickly gain strength in the coming days.
00:14It is likely to reach Category 3, a hurricane with very strong winds.
00:19Vance is following a path like another storm earlier in October.
00:22But growing stronger does not settle where the storm will go.
00:26Winds that guide Vance could shift its course over the coming week.
00:29Other nearby weather systems could also help shape the storm's path.
00:33A route closer to land could bring direct effects along Mexico's southern coast.
00:38Yet moving farther out to sea would not rule out rough weather on shore.
00:42Forecasters still cannot say whether Vance brings impacts to Mexico or stays offshore.
