While I can't really review this article for GA, since I contributed portions of it, I think the stubby sections concerning Spring and Fall are going to be problematic. Adding detail, such as when the low level wedge (cool with low clouds and drizzle within an easterly flow regime) finally gives up for the spring (if there's a reference) or first becomes a problem in the fall, when advection fog is a concern across the state due to the advection of high dew point air over cool near shore SSTs between fall and spring, or when severe weather is most expected across the state (whether it is spring, summer, or fall) could be useful in filling out the season portions of the article. Also, every time a certain weather event is mentioned with specifics, an inline reference should be included whether or not there is a wikipedia article created concerning the event (i.e. the 2000 and 1989 references within the snow section). Thegreatdr ( talk) 21:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
One thing I didn't mention before was the reference format at the bottom. For GA, it needs to be consistent. In other words, pick either ref or cite web and stick with it. Also, the way it appears on the page needs to be consistent. This would mean that if an author is listed for one reference, it would need to be listed for all references. Same deal with article names and retrieval dates. Thegreatdr ( talk) 10:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 9, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
Overall, very near to Good Article criteria, just needs a few tweaks. I know Thegreatdr has been over this above, but you need to include info about severe weather activity in the state.
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 03:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I think we also need an actual section about precipitation across NC. In the most recent version, the rainfall section only talked about tropical cyclone rainfall, so I moved it into the hurricane section. A general section regarding rainfall/precipitation distribution on an annual basis within NC appears to be needed. Thegreatdr ( talk) 16:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
The annual average rainfall map for North Carolina is downloadable from a .gov source. The link is http://www.nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/preview/precip/pageprecip_nc3.gif, in case the precipitation section ever gets large enough for its inclusion.

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of March 14, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
Great job improving the article. Sorry I didn't review it earlier. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 18:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that western North Carolina's climate should definitely not be classified as humid continental. In the eastern United States, humid continental climates occur almost exclusively at latitudes of at least 40°N. The map at http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/pdf/kottek_et_al_2006_A1.pdf easily supports this observation, as well as the map on the Köppen Climate Classification page. In fact, both of these maps are from very reliable sources, and the map that exists on the Climate of North Carolina page completely contradicts these reliable sources. The two maps that I just mentioned show the vast majority of North Carolina to be humid subtropical (Cfa), with the Appalachian mountain region shown as Cfb, which is labeled by the Köppen system as Maritime Temperate/Oceanic. It seems like the majority of sources out there agree with that, so I think we should change this article as well as the main NC article to describe western NC's climate as oceanic rather than humid continental. sbrown146 ( talk) 04:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
