DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kiko was
located near latitude 17.9 North, longitude 138.9 West.  Kiko is
moving toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this motion
is expected to continue through the day.  A gradual turn from
west-northwestward to west-southwestward is expected tonight
through Wednesday night.  On the forecast track, Kiko will move
into the central Pacific basin later this afternoon.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Additional weakening is forecast, and Kiko is likely to become a
tropical depression by tonight.  It should then degenerate into a
remnant low on Wednesday.

from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).
