Pretty good article, just a few nitpicks. Good work! ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:30, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "Tropical Storm Kirk was the second lowest-latitude tropical storm on record in the Atlantic basin." - link latitude
 * "After intensifying into Tropical Storm Kirk early on September 22, the rapidly-moving system succumbed to dry air and degenerated into a tropical wave early the next day." - that's a lot for a sentence in the lead of an article
 * Kirk reached peak winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) - link maximum sustained winds
 * "only the third tropical storm of the 1902 hurricane season formed farther south" - mind linking to that specific storm?
 * "This cloud pattern suggested the entrainment of mid-level dry air, and indeed, the hostile environment caused Kirk to degenerate into a tropical wave by 12:00 UTC on September 23." - the "and indeed" seems a bit colloquial. I feel like it could just be two separate sentences.
 * "Kirk temporarily moved west-northwest, passing just north of Barbados, before banking west-southwest under the influence of high pressure over the western Atlantic, a decoupling of the storm's low- and mid-level centers, and the mountains of the eastern Caribbean Sea islands" - too long, make it stop!
 * Link UTC somewhere
 * "As Kirk passed within 40 miles (65 km) of Barbados" - I sometimes make a stink out of it, and because the article is so good so far, I'll do it here. The "As Kirk" start is ambiguous whether you mean "At the same time as Kirk..." or "Because Kirk passed". The "As" adverbial clause can be ambiguous, which you should avoid at the start of a paragraph.
 * "Heavy rainfall and resultant river flooding also northeastern Saint Vincent" - I believe you missing word
 * "EC$1.4 million ($US518,000)" - formatted wrong
 * Considering that "Elsewhere" is only one paragraph, and only one paragraph for the first section "Barbados", I think you should make the impact section one single section (with multiple paragraphs), as well as a dedicated "Aftermath" section for Barbados and Saint Lucia
 * I have addressed all the comments here except the recommended restructuring. We prefer the current format and easy access to information by location. If that's not okay, I'm sure you'll let me know. :) Thanks for the review! 🌧❄ϟ TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 05:32, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
