   Pass/Fail:

Lead

1. Alright, since I understand that you cannot expand much more, I'll just ask this. Could you add the season start and end dates (use seasons like the old articles if needed).

Background

1. The season was one of only two Atlantic seasons without a storm of hurricane intensity (winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) or higher), the other being the 1914 season. —

   It cites ref #3. HurricaneFan25 — 23:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

2. In addition, the maximum winds recorded from the first tropical storm were also the highest of the season; it also broke the record for the weakest "most intense" storm on record for an Atlantic hurricane season. — No need for the "also".

   It improves the flow (slightly) with the also. HurricaneFan25 — 23:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Storms

1. Anyway to get the peak intensities of each individual storm into their individual sections?

Tropical Storm One

1. The first identified tropical storm of the season is listed in the Atlantic hurricane database as a tropical storm on June 24, positioned in the western Caribbean Sea; the estimate for this location was based on ship reports, although the information was insufficient to guarantee an accurate position. — As "tropical storm" is the subject of the sentence, where it says "in the Atlantic hurricane database as a tropical storm...." change to "in the Atlantic hurricane database as forming on June...".

   Did something like that. HurricaneFan25 — 00:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

2. Late on June 26, it passed between the Yucatán Peninsula and Cuba, and subsequently entered the Gulf of Mexico shortly thereafter — There is no need for "shortly thereafter" as you use "subsequently". Or, you could take out "subsequently" and leave "shortly thereafter".

   "Subsequently" isn't the right word to use here. Check a dictionary ;-) HurricaneFan25 — 00:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

3. The tropical storm continued to slowly intensify, but then started to make sharp curve towards the northeast on June 28. — "but then"? Makes it sound like the storm track had an impact on intensity, which is not the case.

   Fixed. HurricaneFan25 — 00:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

   1. The depression traveled east-northeastward along the Gulf Coast of the United States, and eventually made landfall on the Florida panhandle early on June 29. — Don't you mean "The tropical storm"? Secondly, it didn't travel "along the Gulf Coast of the United States".

Any mention on impact since it doesn't have an article?

Practically nothing. Partagas has nothing, no stuff from MWR. HurricaneFan25 — 00:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Two

1. Based on data from historical weather maps, lower-atmospheric flow, likely eastward-moving, was present between September 16 and 17, though a closedcirculation did not appear to be present. — Link atmospheric flow to something. Additionally, think you are missing a few words.

Have no idea what to link to. HurricaneFan25 — 00:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

1. On September 18, the system developed into tropical depression between the Bahamas and Florida while it moved west-northwestward. — Really don't need "the" to be linked with Bahamas. Just link the Bahamas.

   It's a redirect, and I told you, links can be lowercase ;) HurricaneFan25 15:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

2. The storm lost its identity over Virginia on September 23. — This is just screaming "reword!"

   Good call... HurricaneFan25 15:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Three

1. The system that would eventually develop into a tropical storm was first noted by a ship north-northwest of Veracruz on September 23.[9] It was recognized as a tropical storm on September 27 while was located above the Bay of Campeche, and moved northeastward, slowly accelerating as it intensified; by September 28, it was moving moving east-northeastward at 24 mph (38 km/h), and simultaneously attained its peak intensity. — The disturbance that would eventually develop into a tropical storm was first noted by a nearby ship north-northwest of Veracruz on September 23. It was recognized as a tropical storm on September 27 while located in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Moving northeastward while slowly accelerated, the storm intensified and reached its peak intensity on September 28. or something like that...but as a whole, the current sentence is way too large.
2. It plowed through northern Florida and southeastern Georgia, maintaining its intensity, and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone off the coast of North Carolina on September 29. — It moved through northern Florida and southeastern George while maintaining its intensity, and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone off the coast of North Carolina on September 29.
3. The storm was drawn into a cold front the following day while situated south of New York. — The remnants of the storm merged with a cold front the following day while situated south of New York.
4. The maximum gust from the storm was 46 miles per hour (74 km/h), which was recorded at Pensacola, Florida — Any reason it is "miles per hour" instead of "mph" for consistency? Change please.

Tropical Storm Five

1. The tropical storm of the season was previously unidentified until reanalysis by Partagás. — Missing a word here?

References

1. Is there any reason you cite the same HURDAT two separate times?

Summary

Everything else looks fine; address these comments and I shall pass the article. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 02:45, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
