Lead

Later that day a weakened Helen emerged into the Sea of Japan. — A comma is needed after "day".

Meteorological history

At this time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring the newly christened Tropical Storm Helen. — "Christened" isn't typically a word we associate with "named". It is more of a religion word.

Additionally, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration being warning on the system, assigning it the local name Paring. — This doesn't seem right..
Being -> began Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The following day, Helen attained typhoon status as it acquired a more northerly track. — Can you "acquire" a more northerly track?
Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In Shinomisaki, just west of where the center of Helen passed, a barometric pressure of 956.9 mbar (hPa; 28.26 inHg) — I think you are forgetting two words at the end (was recorded)?
Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The remnants of Helen then track across southern Hokkaido before dissipating just east of the island on September 21. — track → tracked.
Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Impact

Peak rainfall in Honshu and Hokkaido reached 580 mm (23 in) and 790 mm (31 in) respectively — Typically when I see this sort of sentence, there is a comma before respectively.
Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
According to Police in Tokyo, 140 bridges sustained damage — Police does not need to be capitalized I believe.
Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Overall, good read. I understand it, which is a good thing considering I know very little about WPAC typhoons and tracking them. Fix these minor issues and I'll pass the article. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 17:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review TAWX! I believe I got everything. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
