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.
