NHC, Remnants of Simon Advisory 38, Oct 16
Note
At 2 PM MST (5 PM EDT) Friday, October 16, NHC issued its final advisory on Simon, saying the storm had dissipated. The remnants were near 21.5 North, 110.3 West, about 100 miles south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas and 305 miles west-northwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds near 35 mph and an estimated minimum pressure of 1006 mb.
The remnants were moving northwest near 13 mph. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
NHC says swells from the remnants of Simon could affect parts of the coast of west-central Mexico and Baja California Sur during the next day or so, likely causing life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Further information on the remnants is in the National Weather Service High Seas Forecasts.
Simon was small and slow, and it lingered off Mexico for days. Its last effect is the surf.
Why it matters
Simon has dissipated, but NHC says swells from its remnants could still cause life-threatening surf and rip currents along west-central Mexico and Baja California Sur during the next day or so.
