  • What were the ultimate origins of Patricia? You mention that it was an area of disturbed weather coming from the Carib, but where did that come from? ITCZ? And did the TW originate from Africa?
    • As stated in the TCR, the origins of Patricia were rather complex. I can't readily find sources to indicate where the incipient system originated, all we have is the disturbance that crossed Central America on October 11. All tropical waves in the Atlantic/East Pacific original from Africa so it's a bit unnecessary to include that. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The depression achieved tropical storm status by 00:00 UTC on October 21; the National Hurricane Center (NHC) assigned it the name Patricia accordingly. " - since the article is already more detailed than the average article, maybe mention that it was the 16th name used from the sequential naming list?
    • Seems unnecessary to me, especially given that we lump the Eastern and Central Pacific together. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Simultaneously, the storm accelerated west-northwest.[1]" - should it be "west-northwestward"?
  • "Dramatic strengthening began late on October 21 and continued through October 23. Patricia reached hurricane strength by 06:00 UTC" - date is unclear
  • The first sentence of the 2nd paragraph of "Rapid intensification" should be split up
    • Couldn't readily think of a way to split them while keeping the flow so I moved the SST record and mention of Carlos to a note. Does this work instead? ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do you think it's worth mentioning any forecasts? For example, did any models anticipate the massive strengthening? How did NHC handle it?
    • Added a sub-section on forecast errors since they're some of the worst ever for the NHC. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 01:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Patricia accelerated inland in between of a trough over Northwestern Mexico and the ridge over the Gulf of Mexico." - some clunkiness in the wording
  • You mention gusts set by Olivia, but I don't see gusts by Patricia in the record section. Worth adding?
    • There's no updated information on gusts from Patricia, so there's nothing I can really add. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
