Tropical Storm Vicente was an unusually small tropical cyclone that made landfall as a tropical depression in the Mexican state of Michoacán on October 23, 2018, causing deadly mudslides. The 21st named storm of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season, Vicente originated from a tropical wave that departed from Africa's western coast on October 6. The wave traveled westward across the Atlantic and entered the Eastern Pacific on October 17. The disturbance became better defined over the next couple of days, forming into a tropical depression early on October 19. Located in an environment favorable for further development, the system organized into Tropical Storm Vicente later that day. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 50 mph (45 knots), lowest pressure 1002 mb. October 19 – October 23, 2018. Landfall: October 23 at 30 mph, 18.0°N 102.4°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 2.2.
