• "The presence of deeper convection and an eye on conventional satellite showcased the storm's transition into a fully tropical cyclone and intensification into a hurricane by 06:00 UTC on January 14." link to eye (cyclone). Also ET storms have an eye and deep convection sometimes, so for starters, at least clarify the convection was near the center, a key feature for tropical cyclones.

• " However, a strong burst of convection increased the winds to 50 mph (85 km/h). " a strong burst of convection doesn't automatically increase the winds. I'd re-word to " However, the NHC increased increased the winds to 50 mph (85 km/h) following a strong burst in Colin's convection. " YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 00:01, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
