DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Kiko was located
near latitude 18.1 North, longitude 145.5 West.  Kiko is moving
toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general
motion with a slight increase in forward speed is expected through
Wednesday.  On the forecast track, the center of Kiko is expected to
pass north of the Hawaiian Islands on Tuesday and Wednesday.
 
Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 110 mph (175
km/h) with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during
the next few days, and Kiko is expected to become a tropical storm
by late Monday or Monday night.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles
(130 km).
 
The minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data is 974 mb 
(28.77 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Kiko can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header HFOTCDCP4 and WMO header WTPA44 PHFO.
 
SURF: Swells generated by Kiko are expected to begin reaching the
Big Island and Maui today. These swells will gradually build
and are forecast to peak along east-facing exposures of the Hawaiian
Islands late Monday through midweek, potentially producing
life-threatening surf and rip currents.  Listen for later advisories
and possible warnings from the National Weather Service.
