Coherent Claudette

I'm impressed how well former Hurricane Claudette has stuck together - after almost a thousand miles, it still is a recognizable weather feature, and passing right now through Arizona. That big, summertime Bermuda high is really pushing it west! Unfortunately the Naval weather forecasts from Monterey don't feature it - the storm is small enough that it slipped in-between weather stations when the computers were being initialized, so as far as the computers are concerned, the storm is invisible. Reality says otherwise, of course, but that's the nature of weather forecast modeling - missing the fine points!
