It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Comments

Copyvio: Earwig shows nothing much; first sentence does have the same wording as a blog source though.WFUM🔥🌪️ (talk)

Is there a reason why some models' abbreviations are used (ICON, BAM) while some are not (NAVGEM, NAEFS) in the Weather forecasting list? This isn't really a policy-based thing, just wondering.WFUM🔥🌪️ (talk)

Spotcheck

Source 4: Pass

Source 13: Pass

Source 22: Not sure where it talks about transmitting data to sfc stations, but rest of sentence is verified.

Source 28: Pass

Source 45: Passes the last sentence, although I feel maybe a couple more cites earlier in the paragraph would help a bit, as I don't see that content in the PDF linked unless I'm missing something.

Source 51: Pass

Source 62: Pass, although I don't see mention of the "two weeks" fact.

Source 73: Pass

Source 85: Pass (Primary source, but I don't see any issues with this)

The sentence about quirky local phenomena and mountain waves may need a cite.

Should CAMs (Convection allowing models) be mentioned somewhere, maybe in the parameterization sentence after the convection mention? They don't have a Wiki article but I believe they're pretty important.

ENIAC image and cumulus clouds don't have alt text, though AFAIK not required for GA.WFUM🔥🌪️ (talk)

@Feline Hymnic: - are you still interested in GAing this article? I've noticed you haven't edited onwiki for 2 weeks.
