Remnant or Extratropical low of Fay???

[edit]

I still remembered by looking at satellite imagery that after Fay had dissipated, its circulation was still active until late on October 15, as it was absorbed by a developing low. Do we put extratropical or remnant low for this, or maybe even just leaving it alone. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd leave it alone for now, wait for the TCR to come out. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:44, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Great job with the lede! It might be perhaps a bit jargony, but nothing too bad IMO. The only thing I would add is that when you mention Gonzalo, you should say "which struck the island X days later."
  • "A small vorticity" - I know what it means, but since it is the beginning of the MH, why not just a "small circulation"?
  • Link upper-level low
  • "extended to north and west of the low" - either add "the" after "to", or get rid of "to"
  • "By early on October 12, the system was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane." - that kinda comes out of nowhere. You spend several sentences saying that conditions weren't favorable. You should say right here why it was upgraded (I'm guessing Recon obs?)
  • "The storm attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h)" - you already said it had an 80 mph peak. Why mention it twice? And what was the basis for the peak intensity? Land obs or recon?

Otherwise, the article is a great read. Good work to everyone involved! I'll be happy to pass when these issues are addressed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:29, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A-Class?

[edit]

Well, I've spent much of today tying up loose ends with this article, updating the impact section with some recent sources and better integrating the TCR into the met. history. I think the writing and research are FA quality, but it's just a bit too short to be worth an FAC, so... A-Class? – Juliancolton | Talk 00:25, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I checked it out, and it certainly passes our A-class criteria. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
