Hi! I'm opening a Good Article Nomination review. Hoping to complete the review over the next couple of days. I'll be using the template below. Thanks! Ganesha811 (talk) 15:58, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , nice article! Nearly everything is all set for GA - just one question on external links - see below. Ganesha811 (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , thank you for the review! I've removed the self-published external links mentioned below, in addition to other smaller copyedits. — TheAustinMan (Talk ⬩ Edits) 21:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Impressively, no prose issues beyond a number of large paragraphs, which I have split. Pass.


 * Pass - well organized, follows MoS.

 * colspan="3" | 2. :


 * Pass, well-cited.


 * Per WP:EXT, external links to blogs, forums, & personal sites should generally be avoided, so I think the links to Stormstalker and Curtis' two accounts should be removed. I actually disagree with this guideline, but I think to pass GA, the article should be within "regulations". Unless you can make a strong policy-based case to keep them, which I wouldn't mind, these links should be excised.
 * Issue addressed. Pass.


 * Adequately - even dramatically - well-cited, but no clear cases of overcitation that I can see. No original research detected.


 * A couple of instances of close phrasing found by Earwig ("during the afternoon and evening of May 27th..."), but none are egregious and all are plausibly the result of coincidence, necessity, or jargon being used correctly.

 * Pass, no issues here.


 * Pass - detailed but not inordinately so.


 * Pass, no issues here.


 * Stable, no ongoing edit wars or other issues. Pass.

 * Pass, no issues.

Generally good, a few tweaks:
 * Add "radar" between "WSR-88D" and "imagery" in infobox
 * The images in the 'Meteorological Synopsis' section could be made bigger for the reader's benefit, so they don't necessarily have to click in. They look a bit small.
 * Add "in downtown Jarrell" to the memorial image.


 * Issues addressed, pass.
