TROPICAL STORM KIKO ADVISORY NUMBER 17
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 PM PDT THU OCT 18 2007
...KIKO REFORMING A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE WEST...
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF
MEXICO FROM ZIHUATANEJO TO MANZANILLO. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING
MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE
WARNING AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF
MEXICO NORTH OF MANZANILLO TO LA FORTUNA. A TROPICAL STORM WATCH
MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH
AREA...GENERALLY WITHIN 36 HOURS.
INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF MEXICO SHOULD
MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF KIKO. WARNINGS AND WATCHES COULD BE
ADJUSTED FOR PORTIONS OF THE MEXICAN COAST ON FRIDAY.
FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE
INLAND WATCHES AND WARNINGS...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED
BY YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
SATELLITE IMAGES AND MICROWAVE DATA INDICATE THAT KIKO IS A LITTLE
FARTHER TO THE WEST. AT 800 PM PDT...0300Z...THE CENTER OF
TROPICAL STORM KIKO WAS ESTIMATED NEAR LATITUDE 16.7 NORTH...
LONGITUDE 104.6 WEST OR ABOUT 160 MILES...260 KM...SOUTH OF
MANZANILLO MEXICO AND ABOUT 210 MILES...340 KM...WEST-SOUTHWEST OF
ZIHUATANEJO MEXICO.
KIKO IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 3 MPH...6 KM/HR...AND THIS
GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ON
THIS TRACK...THE CENTER OF KIKO IS FORECAST TO PARALLEL THE COAST
OF SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 40 MPH...65 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SOME STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST AND KIKO COULD BECOME A
HURRICANE IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 105 MILES...165 KM
FROM THE CENTER.
THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 1000 MB...29.53 INCHES.
ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING
WAVES...ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNING AREA IN REGIONS OF ONSHORE
FLOW.
KIKO IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 7
INCHES OVER SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO WITH POSSIBLE ISOLATED MAXIMUM
AMOUNTS OF 10 INCHES. LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES
ARE POSSIBLE OVER MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.
REPEATING THE 800 PM PDT POSITION...16.7 N...104.6 W. MOVEMENT
TOWARD...NORTHWEST NEAR 3 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH.
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1000 MB.
AN INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER AT 1100 PM PDT FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT COMPLETE ADVISORY AT 200
AM PDT.

NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 PM PDT THU OCT 18 2007
THE CLOUD PATTERN APPEARS TO BE GETTING BETTER ORGANIZED THIS
EVENING WITH BANDS OF CURVED CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN THE WESTERN
SEMICIRCLE OF THE CYCLONE. A 0100 UTC MICROWAVE PASS SUGGESTS THAT
THE CENTER HAS REFORMED SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST OF THE PREVIOUS
POSITION. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE LOCATION
OF THE CENTER AT THIS TIME. SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES REMAIN AT
MINIMAL STORM STRENGTH AND THE INITIAL INTENSITY WILL BE KEPT AT 35
KT. NOW THAT THE CENTER IS CLOSER TO THE DEEP CONVECTION...THE
STAGE APPEARS TO BE SET FOR INTENSIFICATION OF KIKO. VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR HAS ALSO LESSENED AND THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE SEPARATE
FROM THE ITCZ. WITH LIGHT SHEAR AND VERY WARM WATER IN THE PATH OF
THE STORM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...A MODERATE INCREASE IN
STRENGTH IS FORECAST. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS A BLEND OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST AND THE SHIPS...HWRF...AND GFDL MODELS. IN THE
LONGER-RANGE...THE SHEAR MAY INCREASE AND KIKO'S INTENSITY COULD
LEVEL OFF BY THEN...SO THE OFFICIAL FORECAST WILL REFLECT THAT
POSSIBILITY. IT IS NOTED THAT THE GFDL MODEL CALLS FOR A MUCH
WEAKER SYSTEM THAN THE PREVIOUS RUN.
THE CENTER OF KIKO HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO TRACK TODAY...EVEN
WITH VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES...AND THE RECENT CENTER REFORMATION
DOESN'T HELP MATTERS. THE BEST ESTIMATE IS THAT THE STORM IS
MOVING SLOWLY TO THE NORTHWEST...315/3. THIS LEFTWARD TURN MAY BE
DUE TO A RIDGE RE-BUILDING OVER MEXICO FOLLOWING THE DEPARTURE OF A
DEEP LAYERED TROUGH NOW OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES. WITH
RIDGING FORECAST OVER MEXICO FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...IT APPEARS
THAT KIKO WILL BE STEERED IN A GENERAL NORTHWESTWARD DIRECTION.
MOST OF THE MODELS HAVE ALSO PICKED UP ON THIS NEW MOTION AND NOW
EITHER KEEP THE SYSTEM WELL OFFSHORE OF SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO OR HAVE
THE CYCLONE JUST BRUSH THE COAST. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SHIFTED
TO THE WEST BUT STILL LIES ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE.

A QUIKSCAT OVERPASS BACK AT 0041Z SUGGESTED THAT THE MAXIMUM WINDS
WERE STILL ABOUT 35 KT. SINCE THAT TIME THE CONVECTIVE PATTERN HAS
BEEN INCONSISTENT...ALTHOUGH THE MOST RECENT FEW IMAGES SHOW A
FAIRLY HEALTHY BURST IN THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT. DESPITE 06Z
SUBJECTIVE DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 45 KT...THE ADVISORY INTENSITY
REMAINS 35 KT FOR NOW BASED ON THE EARLIER QUIKSCAT DATA...WHICH
WERE ALSO USED TO CONTRACT THE 34-KT WIND RADII. CONDITIONS APPEAR
RIPE FOR STRENGTHENING...HOWEVER...AS KIKO WILL SOON FIND ITSELF
RIGHT BENEATH AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE AND STILL OVER VERY WARM
WATERS JUST OFF THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO. AS IN THE PREVIOUS
ADVISORY...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR KIKO TO BECOME A
HURRICANE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS...WHICH IS A LITTLE ABOVE MOST OF THE
OBJECTIVE GUIDANCE. THE FORECAST PEAK INTENSITY AT LONGER RANGES
HAS BEEN REDUCED SLIGHTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDANCE THAT
SEEMS TO RESPOND TO A MODEST INCREASE IN SHEAR AND EVENTUALLY
COOLER SSTS ON DAYS 4 AND 5.
CENTER FIXES DERIVED FROM AN ANALYSIS OF THE QUIKSCAT AMBIGUITIES
AND AN SSMIS IMAGE AT 0317Z...COMBINED WITH RECENT GOES INFRARED
IMAGERY...DO NOT REVEAL MUCH MOTION OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER BUT
HINT AT A NORTHWESTWARD DRIFT...AND THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE
REMAINS AN UNCERTAIN 315/3. THE MODELS GENERALLY FORECAST A
NORTHWESTWARD MOTION ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THE PACIFIC COAST OF
MEXICO FOR 2-3 DAYS...BUT WITH DIFFERENCES PRIMARILY IN THE FORWARD
SPEED...AS THE CYCLONE HEADS TOWARD A PERSISTENT BREAK IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO AND THE ADJACENT EASTERN
PACIFIC. BEYOND 72 HOURS...MOST OF THE MODELS FORECAST A TURN
TOWARD THE WEST AS A RIDGE BUILDS TO THE NORTH OF KIKO AS A
DEEP-LAYER CYCLONE PROGRESSES EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED
STATES. THE LATITUDE AT WHICH THAT TURN OCCURS VARIES WILDLY AMONG
THE MODELS...WITH THE GFDL FARTHEST NORTH NEAR THE SOUTHERN BAJA

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 AM PDT FRI OCT 19 2007
SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS THAT KIKO IS SLOWLY BECOMING
BETTER ORGANIZED...WITH A CENTRAL CONVECTIVE FEATURE THAT MAY BE THE
BEGINNING OF A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND IN THE
WESTERN SEMICIRCLE. SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND
SAB HAVE INCREASED TO 45 KT...AND RECENT AMSU INTENSITY ESTIMATES
ARE 52 AND 45 KT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 40 KT...
AND THIS COULD BE CONSERVATIVE. ANALYSES FROM CIMSS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN NOW SHOW 10 KT OF EASTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR
OVER KIKO.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 310/3. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO DURING THE NEXT 24-48 HR SHOULD STEER KIKO SLOWLY
NORTHWESTWARD. BEYOND THAT TIME...CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS
OVER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES AND
ITS EFFECTS ON KIKO. THE GFS...GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN...AND ECMWF ALL
FORECAST THE TROUGH TO DEVELOP FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST TO ALLOW KIKO
TO TURN WESTWARD BY 72-96 HR...WITH THE GFS SHOWING THE TURN
EARLIER AND FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE ECMWF. THE UKMET...NOGAPS...AND
CANADIAN MODELS ALL SHOW THE TROUGH CUTTING OFF AND MOVING FAR
ENOUGH TO THE WEST TO TURN KIKO NORTHWARD. THE GFDL AND HWRF ARE
BETWEEN THESE EXTREMES...BUT APPEAR TO BE TOO FAST WITH THE FORWARD
MOTION. EVEN NOW...IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHICH OF THESE
SCENARIOS WILL VERIFY. THEREFORE...THE NEW TRACK FORECAST CALLS
FOR A SLOW NORTHWESTWARD MOTION THROUGH 96 HR...FOLLOWED BY A
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TURN AT A SLOWER FORWARD SPEED THAN FORECAST IN
THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY. OVERALL...THE TRACK IS A LITTLE TO THE
NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT OF THE MODEL
CONSENSUS.
KIKO SHOULD REMAIN IN AN AREA OF LIGHT SHEAR FOR THE NEXT 48-72
HR...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW CONTINUED STRENGTHENING. THE SHIPS MODEL
CALLS FOR A PEAK INTENSITY OF 68 KT...THE GFDL 88 KT...AND THE HWRF
90 KT. THE INTENSITY FORECAST WILL COMPROMISE BETWEEN THESE WITH A
FORECAST PEAK INTENSITY OF 75 KT. AFTER 72 HR...THE LARGE-SCALE
MODELS FORECAST INCREASING SHEAR AS KIKO REACHES COOLER SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. THIS COMBINATION SHOULD CAUSE A WEAKENING TREND.

Re: Tropical Storm Kiko in EPac
There's a little burst of red right over the center. I wonder if it's forming a small eye.

THE CLOUD PATTERN HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE
PAST SEVERAL HOURS. IN FACT...THERE ARE ONLY A FEW PATCHES OF DEEP
CONVECTION AT THIS TIME...AND MICROWAVE DATA REVEAL THAT THE LOW
AND MID -LEVEL CENTERS ARE NOT VERTICALLY ALIGNED. DVORAK T-
NUMBERS HAVE NOT CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SO THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
KEPT AT 45 KNOTS...AND THIS APPEARS TO BE GENEROUS. THERE IS A
DISCREPANCY BETWEEN SHIPS AND THE GFDL/HWRF MODELS. SHIPS ONLY
SHOWS A MODEST STRENGTHENING AND BARELY BRINGS KIKO TO HURRICANE
STRENGTH WHILE THE TWO OTHER MODELS MAKE KIKO A STRONGER HURRICANE.
THERE ARE NO APPARENT REASONS WHY KIKO SHOULD NOT STRENGTHEN. THE
SHEAR IS RELATIVELY LOW AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO INCREASE DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR TWO WHILE KIKO IS MOVING OVER WARM WATERS. GIVEN THESE
CONDITIONS...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST INSISTS ON A GRADUAL
STRENGTHENING AND KIKO SHOULD BECOME A HURRICANE IN ABOUT A DAY OR
TWO.
KIKO HAS BEEN MOVING VERY SLOWLY TOWARD THE NORTHWEST OR 305 DEGREES
AT 4 KNOTS. A DEVELOPING RIDGE OVER MEXICO WILL LIKELY KEEP KIKO ON
THE SAME GENERAL SLOW MOTION FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS.
THEREAFTER...THE TRACK FORECAST BECOMES HIGHLY UNCERTAIN...I
EMPHASIZE...HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. RELIABLE MODELS LIKE THE GFS AND THE
ECMWF DEVELOP A STRONG RIDGE NORTH OF KIKO AND EVENTUALLY FORCE THE
CYCLONE TO TURN WESTWARD BEFORE REACHING BAJA CALIFORNIA. THE
EQUALLY RELIABLE UK AND GFDL/HWRF GROUP SHOWS A MORE NORTHERLY
COMPONENT TOWARDS BAJA CALIFORNIA OR EVEN TO THE AREA OF CABO
CORRIENTES AND THE SEA OF CORTES. AT THIS TIME...THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST FOLLOWS THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTION AND THE PREVIOUS OFFICIAL
FORECAST...TURNING KIKO WESTWARD JUST TO THE SOUTH OF BAJA
CALIFORNIA AND AWAY FROM MEXICO. HOWEVER...WE MUST BE READY TO
MAKE A BIG CHANGE IN THE FORECAST IF THE NORTHWARD TREND SUGGESTED
BY THE UK/GFDL/HWRF RUNS BEGINS TO MATERIALIZE. THIS OPTION COULD
RESULT IN A STRONGER CYCLONE SINCE THE OCEAN IS VERY WARM NEAR THE
SOUTHWEST COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO. SO STAY TUNED.

200 AM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
UNTIL ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO...KIKO WAS NOT PRODUCING ALL THAT MUCH
DEEP CONVECTION...BUT A HEALTHY BURST HAS RECENTLY ERUPTED OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT...OBSCURING THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER. SUBJECTIVE
DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES AT 06Z WERE 45-55 KT...WITH OBJECTIVE
ESTIMATES FAVORING THE LOWER END OF THAT RANGE. GIVEN THE INCREASE
IN CONVECTION SINCE THEN...THE ADVISORY INTENSITY IS RAISED
SLIGHTLY TO 50 KT. THE ENVIRONMENT IS CONDUCIVE FOR
STRENGTHENING...AND ESSENTIALLY ALL OF THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE
FORECASTS KIKO TO BE NEAR HURRICANE STRENGTH IN A DAY OR TWO. THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY IN CALLING
FOR KIKO TO BECOME A HURRICANE IN ABOUT 24 HOURS GIVEN THE WEAK
WIND SHEAR AND VERY WARM SSTS. THE FORECAST INTENSITY PEAKS AT 75
KT IN ABOUT 48 HOURS...WITH A GRADUAL DECLINE THEREAFTER AS SHEAR
INCREASES AND SSTS EVENTUALLY COOL BENEATH THE CYCLONE.
KIKO CONTINUES SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 305/4...TO THE SOUTH OF
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. THAT RIDGE IS FORECAST BY
ALL OF THE DYNAMICAL MODELS TO ERODE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A
DEEP-LAYER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ARRIVES OVER THE WESTERN UNITED
STATES. ALL OF THE MODELS EVENTUALLY SHOW THAT SYSTEM PROCEEDING
EASTWARD...ALLOWING A RIDGE TO BUILD ALONG THE WEST COAST OF MEXICO
AND CALIFORNIA IN A FEW DAYS. IN RESPONSE TO THAT PATTERN
CHANGE...THE MODELS REMAIN EXTREMELY DIVERGENT BEYOND ABOUT 36
HOURS. THE GFDL REMAINS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE
BUT HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT ON THE LATEST RUN...TAKING
KIKO NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA IN
48-72 HOURS. THE GFS AND ECMWF GLOBAL MODELS ARE ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE MODEL SPREAD...SHOWING A WESTWARD TURN WELL SOUTH OF BAJA
CALIFORNIA IN ABOUT 24 HOURS. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
ANTICIPATE A WESTWARD TURN THAT SOON...GIVEN THAT KIKO SHOULD BE A
DEEP SYSTEM WITH NO SIGNIFICANT MID-LEVEL RIDGE FORECAST TO ITS
NORTH UNTIL ABOUT BEYOND 48 HOURS FROM NOW. THE NEW OFFICIAL TRACK
FORECAST LEANS A LITTLE MORE TOWARD THE GFDL SOLUTION AND IS A BIT
FASTER AND TO THE NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST STARTING ON DAY
2...BUT IT STILL CALLS FOR KIKO TO TURN WESTWARD SOUTH OF THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
THIS TRACK FORECAST IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN GIVEN THE TREMENDOUS MODEL
SPREAD.
