Issued at 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 22 2019 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 222035 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Kiko Discussion Number 42 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132019 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 22 2019 Not much can be added to Kiko after nearly 10 days describing the cyclone. It still consists of a tight circulation of low clouds with intermittent bursts of deep convection. Based on Dvorak estimates the initial intensity is kept at 35 kts. Kiko has the opportunity to strengthen a little bit in one of those burst, but the general trend is for Kiko to weaken and become a remnant low as it crosses the end of our domain. Kiko is moving toward the west-southwest at 6 knots steered by the subtropical ridge and its associated trades. Kiko will continue swinging south of west and north of due west as the subtropical high pulses during the next few days.
