DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kiko was
located near latitude 22.9 North, longitude 156.3 West. Kiko is
moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h)  and this
motion is expected to continue for the next few days, while passing
north of the main Hawaiian Islands.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. 
Weakening is expected, and the system is forecast to become 
post-tropical in a couple days.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
to the north of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).

Tropical Storm Kiko Discussion Number  40

A new convective burst has developed in association with Kiko, with 
the strongest convection currently just north of the low-level 
center. Scatterometer data received since the last advisory 
indicated at least 35 kt winds in the northern semicircle, and 
based on this and the current convective trends the initial 
intensity is held at 35 kt.

While the center of Kiko turned a little to the left during the past 
several hours, the longer-term motion remains west-northwestward at 
285/12 kt.  Kiko is expected to continue a general 
west-northwestward track with a gradual decrease in forward speed 
during the next three days as it is steered by low-level easterly 
flow on the south side of the subtropical ridge.  The new forecast 
track is adjusted a little to the left of the previous track based 
on the initial position, and it lies near or just north of the 
various consensus models.
 
The cyclone is forecast to remain within a high shear environment 
over the next 12-18 h, and it is expected that Kiko will weaken to a 
depression during that time.  After that, while the shear weakens 
for a time, the upper-level flow becomes convergent and the airmass 
around the cyclone is quite dry.  This combination should eventually 
stop the associated convection, and Kiko is expected to degenerate 
to a remnant low by 48 h. The system is expected to dissipate  
completely between 72-96 h.
 
 
Key Messages:
 
1. Kiko is forecast to pass north of the Hawaiian Islands tonight
and Wednesday. Additional weakening is expected, and the threat of
direct impacts on the islands continues to diminish, though
interests should still monitor Kiko's progress and the latest
forecasts.
 
2. Swells generated by Kiko are gradually building from east to west
across the exposed Hawaiian waters and are forecast to peak
tonight through Wednesday, potentially producing life-threatening
surf and rip currents. Refer to the latest updates and forecasts
issued from the National Weather Service in Honolulu, Hawaii.
