Octave has moved inland over the southwestern portion of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and degenerated into a remnant low on Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center has issued the final advisory for Octave.
Nevertheless, the "ghost" of the storm will live on. Locally heavy rainfall will continue to spread over the mainland Mexico state of Sonora through Tuesday. This could result in some flash flooding and mudslides.
Octave's remnants will also have an impact on the weather in the United States.
Moisture and upper-level energy from the system will get pulled northeastward into midweek and interact with a cold front moving across the central United States. This will help to enhance rainfall in the south-central states, including Texas.
Recap
Octave began as a tropical depression that formed late Saturday night in the eastern Pacific Ocean, about 470 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California. The system quickly strengthened and became Tropical Storm Octave early Sunday morning.Octave maintained a north-northwesterly course throughout its lifetime, which brought it on a direct course to the southern Baja California peninsula. Tropical storm warnings were issued Monday for portions of Baja California, and Octave crossed the peninsula into the Gulf of California early Tuesday morning. At its peak intensity, Octave packed 65 mph winds and exhibited a minimum central pressure of 995 millibars.
