This article is extremely well-written. However, I found a handful of minor issues. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 21:10, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
peaking the next day with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a pressure of 990 mbar (29.23 inHg).It should be specified that these winds are maximum 1-minute sustained winds.
Increasing wind shear caused the storm's intensification to level off later that day as the system turned towards the north-northwest.Add a comma after "later that day".
Hundreds of homes and streets were inundated by floodwaters and mud as a result of torrential rainfall and multiple rivers overflowing.Add a comma after "and mud".
during Hurricane Willa in 2018Link "2018" to 2018 Pacific hurricane season.
The second tropical wave tracked through the region during this time, sparking a further increase in convective activity.Did the second tropical wave merge into the first disturbance, or did it remain separate and only contribute to convective development? The article doesn't make that clear.
Shortly after peaking, Ivo's forward crawl slowed down to 12 mph (19 km/h) as the western edge of the ridge weakened.What speed was the storm moving at prior to the slowdown?
Ivo quickly turned towards the northwest and later north-northwestward early on August 23,Change "north-northwestward" to "the north-northwest". This is a grammar issue.
Continuous wind shear bombarbed Ivo, causing the mid-level circulation to separate and leaving only a small area of convection near the center.Maybe I didn't read this closely enough, but did the mid-level circulation separate from the convection, or the low-level circulation? Both are different, and each would have their own significance.
Cold 75 °F (24 °C) sea surface temperatures below and dry and stable air aloft caused all remaining convection to dissipate,Change "below" to "below the system", to make it more clear.
The low became stationary on August 26 and turned towards the southeast under the influence of a low-level steering flow, which was located west of the Baja California peninsula.Add a comma after "towards the southeast".
in the ElotaChange to "in the Elota Municipality", as the current wording sounds awkward.
the left bank of the Baluarte RiverIs this the west bank of the river? It would be nice if this could be clarified.
Streets were closed to traffic in the city to prevent wavesI assume that these waves as from the Pacific Ocean, or did they have another source?
the towns of Chinitos and Melchor Ocampo were left isolated after water from an irrigation channel significantly damaged the Ford bridge.Add a comma after "were left isolated".
Six businesses and 25 homes were inundated and 11 cars were stranded.Add a comma after "25 homes were inundated".
worked to drain their fields to prepare for the next agricultural season after the storm inundated the fields with up to 170 mm (6.7 in) of water.Add a comma after "agricultural season".
These are all of the issues that I found. The writing is pretty solid. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 21:10, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
It seems bizarre to me that Ivo, which formed well offshore of Mexico and remained as such for its entire lifespan, could've caused the flooding described in this article. Plus, the NHC never even acknowledged the possibility that Ivo could've affected the Mexican coast during its lifetime, and its TCR further states that Ivo caused no reported damage or casualties. Is it possible that Mexican news organizations might've incorrectly attributed flooding from an unrelated storm system to Ivo? A similar case occurred with 1982's Tropical Storm Aletta.
