Lead
  • It seems unclear (I know why, but other may not) as to how significant the track errors were on that image of Ernesto's computer models. So I think you should note in the caption that the white track is the path Ernesto actually took.
  • For clarification, I would wikilink "skill" to "Forecast skill".
Statistical guidance
  • Link Hurricane Isabel in the caption of the r-CLIPER image
  • Why did you wait until the end of the second paragraph to link "statistical model", when it could have been linked in the lead.
  • It says GFS here, but does not tell you that GFS stands for "Global Forecasting System". BTW, the full spelling of the acronym "NOGAPS" is also missing, and is spelled-out until the fourth paragraph of the Dynamical guidance section.
  • "The version of SHIPS with an inland decay component is known as Decay SHIPS (DSHIPS)." - you should write DSHIPS as Decay Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme out completely instead of Decay SHIPS, which will also cut down on the number of acronyms in that sentence.
  • In the last paragraph, delink: National Hurricane Center, rainfall, and Joint Typhoon Warning Center, since all of them were either linked earlier in the section or in the Lead.
Dynamical guidance
  • Similar to the issue before the previous one, you have several phrases that are only partially spelled-out, such as BAM shallow (BAMS) , BAM Medium (BAMM), and BAM Deep (BAMD).
    • Again, no. BAM was already defined; expanding fully the same thing thrice would only be redundant, and would advesely affect readability. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 20:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the third paragraph, about four sentences start the same way, causing minor redundancies (e.g. Tested in 1989 and 1990, By 1990, and two consecutive sentences that start with Since [year]).
  • Don't wikilink 2007
  • Don't explain what GFS is here, and just erase "Global Forecast System".
Timeliness
  • What does "GDFI" stand for, or did you mean to say "GDFL"?
Consensus methods
  • It seems that you are using the terms "early" and "late" in a different way than in Timeliness, like it seems that "early" is used here meaning, a long time ago. So you should probably erase "early" and "late" in this section.
    • Same as above, but clarified it by using interpolated instead of early. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 20:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Hurricane WRF" and "decay SHIPS" should be written as "HWRF" and "DSHIPS".
  • What does the acronym "TVCN" and "TVCC" stand for?
Ensemble methods
  • Delink "Joint Typhoon Warning Center" and "Japan Meteorological Agency's", since they are already linked enough
  • Spell-out mi in the parenthesis
References
  • Inconsistency names of authors (e.g. you have Franklin, James in Ref #5 and then James Franklin in Ref #24).
  • Reference #14 ("Beta Effect") does not directly link to the place it was intended to go.
  • Reference #16 is not in CiteWeb format
    • Removed, since it didn't meet WP:RS, and it didn't say anything not already found in the other references in the article . Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 20:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, good enough, I will now pass this article. Congratulations,--12george1 (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
