Not a bad start, and I'd give it a B if it wasn't for one thing. The lead is excessive, both in length and level of detail, three short paras comparable to that in Meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina would be better. In particular, most of the technical prose and the windspeed figures should not be needed in the lead. Other issues are relatively minor, but could do with addressing before GAC/FAC. The prose is overly technical in general, an eye to simplifying it throughout would be beneficial. Diffluence is not a concept restricted to meteorology; there's no need for (meteorology) in the redlink. The dates are also badly formatted. A final thought, just satellite imagery isn't good; a bit of variety would be better (IIRC I raised this with the Katrina article). Perhaps I should make an animation for the FL landfall from NEXRAD?-- Nilf anion ( talk) 20:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Image:CancunRadar.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This is an article which passed FA four years ago, when we wikilinked everything and anything under the sun. The wikilinking does not satisfy MoS criteria at this time, particularly regarding redirects and overlinking. The good news is that there is no linkrot, so these issues are of the nuisance variety. I'm going to give it a week for someone else to fix the remaining issues, or I'll send it to FAR. I had to check it over myself to be sure, but if it doesn't pass FAR, it falls to B class, not GA.

Sorry for the problems from four years ago. I was young and naive. The good news is that mere overlinking is not in violation of the FA criteria. I'm rather busy this week, but I'll try to tackle it tomorrow or on the weekend. Thanks for the heads up about it though. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 00:05, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
