000 WTPA44 PHFO 101437 TCDCP4 Post-Tropical Cyclone Kiko Discussion Number 42 NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI EP112025 Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 AM HST Wed Sep 10 2025 Kiko has not produced any deep convection for the past 12 hours. Global models show that the circulation will likely not form organized deep convection in the future, likely due to a dry environment and strong vertical wind shear. Kiko is now being designated as a post-tropical remnant low, and this will be the last advisory on the system. The cyclone has continued to weaken since the previous advisory so the initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt. The shallow vortex is moving westward at 10 kt. A turn to the west-northwestward should occur soon and this general motion is forecast to continue for the next couple of days until Kiko opens into a trough and dissipates.
