TROPICAL STORM KIKO ADVISORY NUMBER 23
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 AM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE PACIFIC
COAST OF MEXICO FROM MANZANILLO NORTHWESTWARD TO CABO CORRIENTES.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT.
INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST OF CENTRAL MEXICO
AND THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SHOULD MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF KIKO.
FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE
INLAND WATCHES AND WARNINGS...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED
BY YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
AT 800 AM PDT...1500Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM KIKO WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 18.1 NORTH...LONGITUDE 106.6 WEST OR ABOUT
165 MILES...260 KM...WEST-SOUTHWEST OF MANZANILLO MEXICO AND ABOUT
395 MILES...635 KM...SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO.
KIKO IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 5 MPH...7 KM/HR...AND THIS
GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS...WITH
THE CENTER OF KIKO REMAINING OFFSHORE AND MOVING PARALLEL TO THE
PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 65 MPH...100 KM/HR...
WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE
NEXT 24 HOURS...AND KIKO COULD BECOME A HURRICANE LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 105 MILES...165 KM
FROM THE CENTER.
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 994 MB...29.35 INCHES.
ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING
WAVES...ARE POSSIBLE ALONG PORTIONS OF THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO
IN REGIONS OF ONSHORE FLOW.
KIKO IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO
3 INCHES OVER PORTIONS OF THE WEST CENTRAL MEXICO COASTAL STATES OF
JALISCO AND COLIMA. LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES
ARE POSSIBLE OVER MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.
REPEATING THE 800 AM PDT POSITION...18.1 N...106.6 W. MOVEMENT
TOWARD...NORTHWEST NEAR 5 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...65 MPH.
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...994 MB.
AN INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER AT 1100 AM PDT FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT COMPLETE ADVISORY AT 200
PM PDT.

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 23
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 AM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT KIKO HAS BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED...WITH A WELL-DEFINED CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST ALMOST
SURROUNDED BY A SOMEWHAT RAGGED OUTER BAND. OVERSHOOTING
CONVECTIVE TOPS IN THE CDO ARE COLDER THAN -80C. SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB ARE 55 KT...AND THAT IS THE
INITIAL INTENSITY FOR THIS ADVISORY. THE CIRRUS OUTFLOW IS FAIR TO
GOOD IN ALL DIRECTIONS EXCEPT THE WEST...WHERE IT IS POOR.
THE INITIAL MOTION REMAINS 305/4. KIKO IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED
BY A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO...WHICH IS FORECAST TO
WEAKEN DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A DEEP-LAYER TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES AMPLIFIES SOUTHEASTWARD. THE GUIDANCE HAS
COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE TROUGH...WITH
ALL LARGE-SCALE MODELS EXCEPT THE NOGAPS FORECASTING THE TROUGH TO
MOVE FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST TO ALLOW RIDGING TO DEVELOP IN ITS WAKE
NORTH OF KIKO. THIS SHOULD TURN KIKO MORE WESTWARD IN THE 48-72 HR
TIME FRAME. HOWEVER...THE TRACK GUIDANCE DOES NOT TOTALLY AGREE
WITH THIS SCENARIO...AS THE GFDL AND HWRF SHOW A NORTHWARD MOTION
FOR 48 HR OR SO FOLLOWED BY A NORTHWESTWARD MOTION. THE GFDL HAS A
GOOD RECENT TRACK RECORD ON STORMS IN THIS AREA...BUT IN THIS CASE
IT MAY BE DRIVING KIKO TOO MUCH INTO THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE. THE NEW
FORECAST TRACK CALLS FOR A NORTHWESTWARD MOTION FOR THE FIRST 48
HR...FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL TURN TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST IN BEST
AGREEMENT WITH THE CCON CONSENSUS MODEL. AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO
WOULD BE A NORTHWARD TURN IN THE NEXT 12-24 HR AS THE TROUGH
APPROACHES FOLLOWED BY A SHARPER TURN TOWARD THE WEST AS THE
TRAILING RIDGE BUILDS...AS SUGGESTED BY THE GFDN. THERE REMAINS
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN
REGARDS TO HOW CLOSE KIKO MAY COME TO BAJA CALIFORNIA.
KIKO IS IN AN AREA OF LIGHT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...AND THAT IS LIKELY
TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 36 HR OR SO. ALL GUIDANCE FORECASTS
STRENGTHENING DURING THAT TIME...AND THE NEW INTENSITY FORECAST NOW
CALLS FOR KIKO TO PEAK AT 80 KT IN 36 HR. AFTER THAT TIME...
INCREASING SHEAR AND COOLING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ALONG THE
FORECAST TRACK SHOULD CAUSE WEAKENING. THE SSTS ARE BELOW 24C
ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK WEST OF 110W...SO THE NEW INTENSITY
FORECAST SHOWS A FASTER WEAKENING THAN THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY.
WIND RADII HAVE BEEN REVISED BASED ON JUST-RECEIVED QUIKSCAT DATA.

NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
200 PM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
KIKO IS ALMOST TO HURRICANE STRENGTH. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
WELL-DEFINED BANDING PATTERN AROUND THE CENTER...ALTHOUGH WITH
RATHER WARM CLOUD TOPS AT THE MOMENT. WHILE THERE WAS A HINT OF AN
EYE FORMING EARLIER...THAT HAS NOW BEEN FILLED BY NEW CONVECTION
NEAR THE CENTER. SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 65 KT FROM TAFB
AND 55 KT FROM SAB. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 60 KT.
THE CIRRUS OUTFLOW IS GOOD TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH...AND POOR
ELSEWHERE.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS NOW 310/5. WHILE KIKO IS CURRENTLY BEING
STEERED BY A WEAK MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO...WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A DEVELOPING DEEP-LAYER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES THAT SHOULD BREAK THAT RIDGE IN THE NEXT 12-24 HR.
THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS ARE NOW IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE TROUGH
WILL AMPLIFY FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST TO ALLOW A TRAILING RIDGE TO
BUILD NORTH OF KIKO...CAUSING THE STORM TO GRADUALLY TURN
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AFTER 24 HR. DESPITE THIS IMPROVED AGREEMENT...
THE TRACK GUIDANCE SHOWS A NOTABLE SPREAD. THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW
A WESTWARD MOTION NEAR OR SOUTH OF 20N...WHILE THE GFDL AND HWRF
FORECAST A TRACK JUST SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA.
THE NEW FORECAST TRACK IS A LITTLE TO THE NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS
TRACK AND THE MODEL CONSENSUS DURING THE FIRST 36 HR...AND THEN A
LITTLE SOUTH OF THEM THEREAFTER. THERE IS STILL A POSSIBLE
ALTERNATE SCENARIO OF A NORTHWARD TURN IN THE NEXT 12-24 HR AS THE
TROUGH APPROACHES FOLLOWED BY A SHARPER TURN TOWARD THE WEST AS THE
RIDGE BUILDS. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN HOW CLOSE KIKO
MAY COME TO BAJA CALIFORNIA...SO INTERESTS THERE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE STORM.
KIKO IS IN AN AREA OF LIGHT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...AND THAT IS LIKELY
TO CONTINUE FOR 24-36 HR. ALL GUIDANCE FORECASTS STRENGTHENING
DURING THAT TIME...AND THE INTENSITY FORECAST NOW CALLS FOR KIKO TO
PEAK AT 75 KT IN 24 HR. AFTER THAT TIME...INCREASING SHEAR...DRY
AIR SEEN IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WEST OF KIKO...AND COOLING SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK SHOULD CAUSE
WEAKENING. THE SSTS ARE BELOW 24C ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK WEST OF
110W...SO KIKO IS FORECAST TO BE DISSIPATING BY 120 HR.

Yeah, when I first looked at Kiko this afternoon the organization is that of a CAT1 hurricane but the convection is not as deep (same thing last night). I can't believe the Epac may have a hurricane in October and the Atlantic won't (so far), just backwards!
The last 2 hours the eye was trying to appear but a new convective burst went partially over it and I have seen this with other TC's before.

THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA ON SUNDAY.
INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST OF CENTRAL MEXICO
AND THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SHOULD MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF KIKO.
FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 25
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 PM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
LATE AFTERNOON VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED A WELL-DEFINED BANDING
PATTERN. HOWEVER...THE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO A
RATHER SMALL AREA NEAR THE CENTER. A 0010 UTC SSMI MICROWAVE
OVERPASS REVEALED AN EYE FEATURE OPEN TO THE SOUTHEAST. SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB ARE UNCHANGED AND THE INITIAL
INTENSITY REMAINS 60 KT.
THE OUTFLOW OF KIKO REMAINS WELL ESTABLISHED TO THE NORTH...BUT IT
IS BEING RESTRICTED OVER THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE DUE TO A SMALL
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE CYCLONE. THE GFDL MODEL IS
THE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN STRENGTHENING KIKO...WHILE THE HWRF SHOWS
VERY LITTLE ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS IN
BETWEEN AND FOLLOWS THE SHIPS GUIDANCE...WHICH BRINGS KIKO TO
HURRICANE STRENGTH WITHIN 12 HOURS. THE PEAK INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN INDICATED IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. AS KIKO PASSES WEST
OF THE BAJA PENINSULA...THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE AND
COOLER SSTS SHOULD INDUCE STEADY WEAKENING.
THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 325/5...SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF
THE PREVIOUS MOTION. KIKO IS CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AROUND
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER MAINLAND MEXICO. A TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A BREAK IN THE RIDGE VERY
SOON. THE MODELS ARE IN SOMEWHAT LESS AGREEMENT ON THE FUTURE
INTERACTION OF KIKO AND THE DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN
UNITED STATES. THE GFDL AND 18Z UKMET DEEPEN THE TROUGH ENOUGH TO
KEEP KIKO ON A GENERAL NORTHWARD MOTION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...BRINGING THE CYCLONE NEAR THE WEST COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO.
THE REMAINDER OF THE DYNAMICAL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
TROUGH WILL BYPASS KIKO AND THE CYCLONE WILL TURN WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD SOUTH OF A DEVELOPING DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST FOLLOWS THE LATTER
SCENARIO THAT THE KIKO WILL RESPOND TO THE BUILDING RIDGE AND TURN
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD.
SINCE KIKO IS MOVING SLOWLY AWAY FROM MAINLAND MEXICO..THE TROPICAL
STORM WATCH HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. HOWEVER...SINCE THE WESTWARD
TURN IS BY NO MEANS CERTAIN TO MATERIALIZE...INTERESTS ALONG THE
WEST-CENTRAL COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO AND IN BAJA CALIFORNIA...
SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE KIKO OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.

NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 PM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
...FUTURE OF KIKO REMAINS UNCERTAIN...
AT 8 PM PDT...0300 UTC...THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO HAS DISCONTINUED
THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA ON SUNDAY.
INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST OF CENTRAL MEXICO
AND THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SHOULD MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF KIKO.
FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE
INLAND WATCHES AND WARNINGS...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED
BY YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
AT 800 PM PDT...0300Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM KIKO WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 18.9 NORTH...LONGITUDE 107.2 WEST OR ABOUT 140
MILES...230 KM...SOUTHWEST OF CABO CORRIENTES MEXICO AND ABOUT 325
MILES...525 KM...SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO.
KIKO IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 6 MPH...9 KM/HR...AND THIS
GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS
MOTION SHOULD KEEP THE CENTER OF KIKO OFFSHORE AND MOVING PARALLEL
TO THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 70 MPH...110 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SOME STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...
AND KIKO COULD BECOME A HURRICANE AT ANY TIME.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 105 MILES...165 KM
FROM THE CENTER.
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 991 MB...29.26 INCHES.
ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING
WAVES...ARE POSSIBLE ALONG PORTIONS OF THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO
IN REGIONS OF ONSHORE FLOW.
KIKO IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO
3 INCHES OVER PORTIONS OF THE WEST CENTRAL MEXICO COASTAL STATES OF
JALISCO AND COLIMA.
REPEATING THE 800 PM PDT POSITION...18.9 N...107.2 W. MOVEMENT
TOWARD...NORTHWEST NEAR 6 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH.
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...991 MB.
THE NEXT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER AT
200 AM PDT.

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 25
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 PM PDT SAT OCT 20 2007
LATE AFTERNOON VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED A WELL-DEFINED BANDING
PATTERN. HOWEVER...THE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO A
RATHER SMALL AREA NEAR THE CENTER. A 0010 UTC SSMI MICROWAVE
OVERPASS REVEALED AN EYE FEATURE OPEN TO THE SOUTHEAST. SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB ARE UNCHANGED AND THE INITIAL
INTENSITY REMAINS 60 KT.
THE OUTFLOW OF KIKO REMAINS WELL ESTABLISHED TO THE NORTH...BUT IT
IS BEING RESTRICTED OVER THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE DUE TO A SMALL
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE CYCLONE. THE GFDL MODEL IS
THE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN STRENGTHENING KIKO...WHILE THE HWRF SHOWS
VERY LITTLE ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS IN
BETWEEN AND FOLLOWS THE SHIPS GUIDANCE...WHICH BRINGS KIKO TO
HURRICANE STRENGTH WITHIN 12 HOURS. THE PEAK INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN INDICATED IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. AS KIKO PASSES WEST
OF THE BAJA PENINSULA...THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE AND
COOLER SSTS SHOULD INDUCE STEADY WEAKENING.
THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 325/5...SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF
THE PREVIOUS MOTION. KIKO IS CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AROUND
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER MAINLAND MEXICO. A TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A BREAK IN THE RIDGE VERY
SOON. THE MODELS ARE IN SOMEWHAT LESS AGREEMENT ON THE FUTURE
INTERACTION OF KIKO AND THE DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN
UNITED STATES. THE GFDL AND 18Z UKMET DEEPEN THE TROUGH ENOUGH TO
KEEP KIKO ON A GENERAL NORTHWARD MOTION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...BRINGING THE CYCLONE NEAR THE WEST COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO.
THE REMAINDER OF THE DYNAMICAL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
TROUGH WILL BYPASS KIKO AND THE CYCLONE WILL TURN WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD SOUTH OF A DEVELOPING DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST FOLLOWS THE LATTER
SCENARIO THAT THE KIKO WILL RESPOND TO THE BUILDING RIDGE AND TURN
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD.
SINCE KIKO IS MOVING SLOWLY AWAY FROM MAINLAND MEXICO..THE TROPICAL
STORM WATCH HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. HOWEVER...SINCE THE WESTWARD
TURN IS BY NO MEANS CERTAIN TO MATERIALIZE...INTERESTS ALONG THE
WEST-CENTRAL COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO AND IN BAJA CALIFORNIA...
SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE KIKO OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 26
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
200 AM PDT SUN OCT 21 2007
THE OVERALL CLOUD PATTERN OF KIKO HAS CHANGED LITTLE DURING THE LAST
6 TO 12 HOURS. A 0253 UTC SSMI/S MICROWAVE PASS SHOWED AN EYE
FEATURE SIMILAR TO AN EARLIER PASS...BUT CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY HAS YET TO REVEAL SUCH A FEATURE. DVORAK SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 65 KT FROM TAFB AND 55 KT FROM SAB...SO THE
INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS A BLEND OF THE TWO...60 KT.
FOR THE LAST 12 HOURS...KIKO HAS BEEN ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING A
HURRICANE. MOST OF THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT KIKO'S
INTENSITY COULD BE REACHING ITS PEAK. ONLY THE GFDL BRINGS KIKO TO
MINIMAL HURRICANE STRENGTH IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. WHILE SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN WARM FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS...SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY
INCREASE. THIS SHOULD PREVENT ANY SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING FROM
OCCURRING IN THE NEAR TERM. THEREAFTER...KIKO IS FORECAST TO
ENCOUNTER COOLER SSTS ALONG WITH MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR WHICH
SHOULD INDUCE STEADY WEAKENING. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS
A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS INTENSITY FORECAST AND ICON...
WHICH IS A BLEND OF THE DSHIPS...GFDL...AND HWRF GUIDANCE.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 330/5...AND KIKO IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED BY
A MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER MAINLAND MEXICO. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATES A DEEP-LAYER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHWARD OVER THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES...AND THIS TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BREAK THE
RIDGE AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD. MOST OF THE MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT THAT A NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION SHOULD
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 12 OR SO HOURS. THE MODEL GUIDANCE...
HOWEVER...VARIES IN THE TIMING OF THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH...WHICH
WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY A RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH. WHEN THIS
OCCURS...A MORE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOTION WILL COMMENCE. THE
OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST FOLLOWS THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND IS A
BLEND OF THE UKMET... NOGAPS...HWRF...AND GFDL SOLUTIONS.
SINCE KIKO IS CURRENTLY MOVING PARALLEL TO THE COAST OF MEXICO AND
THE WESTWARD TURN IS BY NO MEANS CERTAIN TO MATERIALIZE...INTERESTS
ALONG THE WEST-CENTRAL COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO AND IN BAJA
CALIFORNIA...SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE KIKO
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE WIND RADII WERE ADJUSTED BASED ON A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS.

800 AM PDT SUN OCT 21 2007
EVEN THOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR IS NOT CURRENTLY ANALYZED TO BE THAT
STRONG...AN EARLIER TRMM PASS SUGGESTS THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER IS
BECOMING SEPARATED FROM THE MID-LEVEL CENTER. MOREOVER...CLOUD TOP
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN STEADILY WARMING...AND LIGHTENING DATA
SUGGEST A WEAKENING OF CORE CONVECTION. IT APPEARS THAT KIKO MAY
HAVE PEAKED AND IS NOW BEGINNING TO WEAKEN. DVORAK INTENSITY
ESTIMATES ARE UNCHANGED BUT A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS SUGGESTS THAT
THE WINDS HAVE DECREASED. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SET AT 50 KT AND
THIS MAY BE GENEROUS. GIVEN THE PRESENT APPEARANCE IN SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND THE INCREASINGLY HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT ALONG THE FORECAST
TRACK...IT APPEARS THAT KIKO WILL NOT BECOME A HURRICANE AND THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST NOW CALLS FOR GRADUAL WEAKENING.
KIKO IS DRIFTING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD...330/2...WITHIN A BREAK IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CREATED BY A DEEP-LAYERED TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES. THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD
ALLOWING A RIDGE TO BUILD TO THE NORTH OF KIKO AND FORCING A TURN
TOWARDS THE WEST OR NORTHWEST. THE GFDL IS THE ONLY DYNAMICAL
MODEL WHICH DOES NOT SHOW THIS WESTWARD TURN MATERIALIZING WITHIN
THE FIRST 24 HOURS. INSTEAD...THE GFDL MAINTAINS A STRONG AND
VERTICALLY ALIGNED VORTEX THAT CONTINUES NORTHWARD TOWARD THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA PENINSULA. SINCE WEAKENING HAS ALREADY
COMMENCED...THE GFDL IS CONSIDERED AN OUTLIER AND THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST SHOWS A WESTWARD TURN BEGINNING LATER TODAY.
NONETHELESS...INTERESTS ALONG THE WEST-CENTRAL COAST OF MAINLAND
MEXICO AND THE SOUTHERN BAJA PENINSULA SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE PROGRESS OF THE KIKO OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 27
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
800 AM PDT SUN OCT 21 2007
EVEN THOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR IS NOT CURRENTLY ANALYZED TO BE THAT
STRONG...AN EARLIER TRMM PASS SUGGESTS THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER IS
BECOMING SEPARATED FROM THE MID-LEVEL CENTER. MOREOVER...CLOUD TOP
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN STEADILY WARMING...AND LIGHTENING DATA
SUGGEST A WEAKENING OF CORE CONVECTION. IT APPEARS THAT KIKO MAY
HAVE PEAKED AND IS NOW BEGINNING TO WEAKEN. DVORAK INTENSITY
ESTIMATES ARE UNCHANGED BUT A RECENT QUIKSCAT PASS SUGGESTS THAT
THE WINDS HAVE DECREASED. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SET AT 50 KT AND
THIS MAY BE GENEROUS. GIVEN THE PRESENT APPEARANCE IN SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND THE INCREASINGLY HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT ALONG THE FORECAST
TRACK...IT APPEARS THAT KIKO WILL NOT BECOME A HURRICANE AND THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST NOW CALLS FOR GRADUAL WEAKENING.
KIKO IS DRIFTING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD...330/2...WITHIN A BREAK IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CREATED BY A DEEP-LAYERED TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES. THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD
ALLOWING A RIDGE TO BUILD TO THE NORTH OF KIKO AND FORCING A TURN
TOWARDS THE WEST OR NORTHWEST. THE GFDL IS THE ONLY DYNAMICAL
MODEL WHICH DOES NOT SHOW THIS WESTWARD TURN MATERIALIZING WITHIN
THE FIRST 24 HOURS. INSTEAD...THE GFDL MAINTAINS A STRONG AND
VERTICALLY ALIGNED VORTEX THAT CONTINUES NORTHWARD TOWARD THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA PENINSULA. SINCE WEAKENING HAS ALREADY
COMMENCED...THE GFDL IS CONSIDERED AN OUTLIER AND THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST SHOWS A WESTWARD TURN BEGINNING LATER TODAY.
NONETHELESS...INTERESTS ALONG THE WEST-CENTRAL COAST OF MAINLAND
MEXICO AND THE SOUTHERN BAJA PENINSULA SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE PROGRESS OF THE KIKO OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

BULLETIN
TROPICAL STORM KIKO ADVISORY NUMBER 28
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
200 PM PDT SUN OCT 21 2007
...KIKO CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...
INTERESTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF KIKO.
FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE
INLAND WATCHES AND WARNINGS...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED
BY YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
AT 200 PM PDT...2100Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM KIKO WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 19.5 NORTH...LONGITUDE 107.8 WEST OR ABOUT 150
MILES...240 KM...WEST-SOUTHWEST OF CABO CORRIENTES MEXICO AND ABOUT
270 MILES...435 KM...SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO.
KIKO IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 3 MPH...6 KM/HR...AND
A TURN TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 50 MPH...85
KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ADDITIONAL WEAKENING IS FORECAST DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 85 MILES...140 KM
FROM THE CENTER.
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 997 MB...29.44 INCHES.
ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING
WAVES...ARE POSSIBLE ALONG PORTIONS OF THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO
IN REGIONS OF ONSHORE WINDS. THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO
SUBSIDE LATER TODAY AND MONDAY AS KIKO MOVES AWAY FROM THE COAST.
REPEATING THE 200 PM PDT POSITION...19.5 N...107.8 W. MOVEMENT

TROPICAL STORM KIKO DISCUSSION NUMBER 28
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152007
200 PM PDT SUN OCT 21 2007
SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT KIKO HAS GRADUALLY WEAKENED DURING
THE DAY. DEEP CONVECTION IS POORLY ORGANIZED...LIMITED...AND
CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS
LOWERED TO 45 KT BASED ON THIS TREND. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
ENVIRONMENT OF SOUTHERLY SHEAR...INCREASING STABILITY....AND DRIER
AIR ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK...FURTHER WEAKENING IS FORECAST. IT IS
EXPECTED THAT KIKO WILL DEGENERATE INTO A REMNANT LOW IN 3 TO 4
DAYS...IF NOT SOONER.
IT APPEARS THAT KIKO IS BEGINNING TO TURN WESTWARD AS A DEEP-LAYERED
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES SHIFTS EASTWARD AND A RIDGE
BUILDS IN ITS WAKE...TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE. THIS WESTWARD
TURN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED. MOST OF THE DYNAMICAL MODELS
HAVE SHIFTED SOUTH WITH SOME EVEN SHOWING A MOTION TOWARDS THE
SOUTHWEST. THE GFDL REMAINS THE NORTHERNMOST OUTLIER BUT EVEN THAT
MODEL NOW BYPASSES THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA PENINSULA TO THE
SOUTH. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SHIFTED A LITTLE TO THE SOUTH OF
THE PREVIOUS ONE AND SHOWS KIKO TURNING WEST-NORTHWEST LATER
TONIGHT AND MONDAY. UNTIL THE ANTICIPATED WESTWARD TURN HAS FULLY
MATERIALIZED...INTERESTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN BAJA PENINSULA SHOULD
MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
