University of St. Thomas Applied Business Research recently conducted a comprehensive readership study, and the results declared Artful Living unquestionably the most preferred regional

magazine. We are honored by what we have learned as we compete for your attention with a number of other high-quality publications that we respect. When readers were asked to compare Artful Living to other magazines, the focus groups and survey results reported we are most like Architectural Digest and Vanity Fair. Readers used terms like timeless, aesthetically pleasing and magazine of choice to describe Artful Living. On occasion, I still hear that print is dead. This is surely true for some types of published content; however, University of St. Thomas research revealed that specific niche magazines are thriving and have a bright future. The study also showed us how we can improve, so expect even more from Artful Living as we tailor our content to your preferences in upcoming issues. Welcome to the fashion issue of Artful Living. Our editors are just back from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City and have brought you the latest looks from some of the best designer collections. These expressions ultimately trickle down from the runway to the street styles of tomorrow. In this issue, we are launching our first annual A-List Awards. Special thanks to our contributor Chris Plantan for scouring the upper Midwest to discover the finest in food, drink, home, accessories, experiences and places. Visit our website for details about purchasing these remarkable items. As we near the end of the year, I am thankful for the team that brings you Artful Living along with our advertisers, who underwrite your experience. But mostly, I am grateful to you, our reader, for making us No. 1.

Cheers,

Crutchfield Dermatology 1185 Town Centre Drive Suite 101 Eagan 651-209-3600

www.CrutchfieldDermatology.com

CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Charles Crutch eld, III, on his selection as a Top Doctor every year since 2000! Dr. Crutch eld has also been recognized by Minnesota Physician as one of the 100 most in uential health care leaders in Minnesota. I want all my patients to look good and feel great with beautiful skin, says Charles E. Crutch eld III, M.D. When you come to Crutch eld Dermatology, the emphasis is on quality, in-depth skincare knowledge and service. ats what really sets us apart. A long list of awards and honors is evidence that Dr. Crutch eld is good at what he does. Recently selected by NBC News/ e Grio as one of the 100 most in uential African-Americans in the U.S., he is humbled by the recognition he receives and shares the credit. I realize that no one gets where they are without the help of many people. Im now at a point in my career where I can give back. Dr. Crutch elds professional accomplishments are matched by generous community outreach and support. His commitment to the community runs deep, especially for students through scholarships, textbook donations, and mentorship. A Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, he is a mentor in the University of Minnesotas Future Doctors of America program, where undergraduate students of color shadow Dr. Crutch eld during patient appointments. ey learn the art of medicine and are introduced to a wide variety of opportunities. Dr. Crutch eld recently received the Minnesota Medical Association Foundations Minority A airs Meritorious Service Award as an outstanding mentor dedicated to students within the program. His medical students at the University of Minnesota Medical School have honored him three times as Teacher of the Year, and Dr. Crutch elds preceptorships through Harlems Touro College of Medicine so impressed two medical student recipients that they relocated to the Twin Cities to practice. Dr. Crutch elds de nition of community enthusiastically includes the Minnesota Twins, and his love of baseball occasionally surfaces in his philanthropic work. During his residency, he learned a hospice patient and fellow baseball fan dreamed of meeting Kirby Puckett. He arranged the meeting, and the Mayo Clinic acknowledged his kindness with the Karis Humanitarian Award. When Twins player Bert Blyleven accepted a dare to eat night crawlers in exchange for a hundred dollar donation to Parkinsons research, Dr. Crutch eld upped the ante to a thousand dollars, challenging other medical clinics to join him. His challenge raised almost $15,000 for the Parkinsons Association of Minnesota. Dr. Crutch eld also donates to the Twins Community Fund to build ballparks for children in the inner city. Sports give children focus and a sense of personal achievement, he explains. Many sports require a substantial investment, but baseball is nancially accessible. You give a kid a glove, a ball,

and a bat, and they are good to go. Remembering school days when he struggled with dyslexia himself, Crutch eld serves as a Hero Benefactor for the Reading Center, stepping in when available scholarships arent su cient to cover the number of hopeful students. For the High school for Recording Arts, founded in Saint Paul to encourage at-risk youth to nish high school by linking lyric writing to English and marketing to mathematics, Dr. Crutch eld contributes funding and scholarships. Dr. Crutch eld provides substantial support, including nancial contributions, and he encourages his sta to participate in breast cancer, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons walks. He has also been given the Patriotic Employer Award from the Minnesota National Guard for his support of our troops and the Gold Triangle Award from the American Academy of Dermatology for promoting health-care awareness in underserved areas. He o ered free skin and scar treatments for the survivors of the tragic Minneapolis 35W bridge collapse and received the rst Physician Health Care Hero by Medica, Twin Cities Business and KARE11 for Outstanding contributors to the quality of health care in Minnesota. His philanthropy also extends to supporting Camp Discovery for children with skin diseases. For over a decade, Dr. Crutch eld has been an active supporter and nominator, dedicating all royalties from the dermatology textbook he coauthored to the program. Once a child is accepted into the camp, the entire experience is covered by donations. As a child, I loved going to camp. But as a dermatologist working with children with skin diseases, I see so many kids ashamed to go because they are afraid to expose themselves to being teased. Camp Discovery is a place where kids can be kids again. Dr. Crutch elds e ort extends to establishing a lectureship at the University of Minnesota honoring his parents, Susan Crutch eld M.D., then the youngest ever and rst African-American female graduate of the medical school, and Charles Crutch eld, Sr., M.D., the rst practicing African- American Obstetrician-Gynecologist in the Twin Cities who went on to deliver almost 10,000 babies. He has also co-authored a childrens book for little leaguers extolling the virtues of being sun-safe and using sun Protection. Little Charles Hits a Home Run is available on Amazon.com, Kindle, Nook and iPad. Proceeds bene t the Twins Community Fund and Camp Discovery. His contributions continue. His latest medical endeavor is an initiative requiring auto manufacturers, cell phone companies, and insurance companies to equip cars with technology disabling a phones texting function while driving. Visit crutch elddermatology.com/safetexting for more information. For Dr. Crutch eld, giving back has become a way of life.

Dr. Crutch eld provides substantial support, including nancial contributions, and he encourages his sta to participate in breast cancer, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons walks. He has also been given the Patriotic Employer Award from the Minnesota National Guard for his support of our troops and the Gold Triangle Award from the American Academy of Dermatology for promoting health-care awareness in underserved areas. He o ered free skin and scar treatments for the survivors of the tragic Minneapolis 35W bridge collapse and received the rst Physician Health Care Hero by Medica, Twin Cities Business and KARE11 for Outstanding contributors to the quality of health care in Minnesota. His philanthropy also extends to supporting Camp Discovery for children with skin diseases. For over a decade, Dr. Crutch eld has been an active supporter and nominator, dedicating all royalties from the dermatology textbook he coauthored to the program. Once a child is accepted into the camp, the entire experience is covered by donations. As a child, I loved going to camp. But as a dermatologist working with children with skin diseases, I see so many kids ashamed to go because they are afraid to expose themselves to being teased. Camp Discovery is a place where kids can be kids again. Dr. Crutch elds e ort extends to establishing a lectureship at the University of Minnesota honoring his parents, Susan Crutch eld M.D., then the youngest ever and rst African-American female graduate of the medical school, and Charles Crutch eld, Sr., M.D., the rst practicing African- American Obstetrician-Gynecologist in the Twin Cities who went on to deliver almost 10,000 babies. He has also co-authored a childrens book for little leaguers extolling the virtues of being sun-safe and using sun Protection. Little Charles Hits a Home Run is available on Amazon.com, Kindle, Nook and iPad. Proceeds bene t the Twins Community Fund and Camp Discovery. His contributions continue. His latest medical endeavor is an initiative requiring auto manufacturers, cell phone companies, and insurance companies to equip cars with technology disabling a phones texting function while driving. Visit crutch elddermatology.com/safetexting for more information. For Dr. Crutch eld, giving back has become a way of life.

Bite Into BlissThe secret to a perfect burger.| BY TIM ALEVIZOS

live artfully || eat

Americas love of hamburgers is eternal. But if anything has ever come close to killing our nations favorite food, it was the 1970s, says Twin Cities super chef Tim McKee, when lean ground beef became a fixture at supermarket

meat counters. Fat is flavor. Fat is juiciness. Fat chance of getting a good burger without it, contends Parasoles head of culinary development. And McKee would know, having crafted the award-winning rendition at Burger Jones. Fat content is just one part of the equation, but its essential, explains the James Beard Award winner. The perfect ratio of meat to fat is 70:30. Beyond that, you have to use good beef. Chefs favor various blends, but you cant go wrong with 100-percent chuck.

McKee's Top Tips for Achieving Burger PerfectionUSE FRESH, COARSELY GROUND BEEF.And handle it minimally. The more your patty gets worked, the tougher and drier it becomes. We press once with a spatula, turn just once and thats it.

KEEP IT FLAT. Use a flattop grill or an iron skillet and make sure its hot. Thats how you get the perfect sear.

GO BIG OR GO HOME. Seven ounces is hefty but not so large that the patty wont cook properly.

SEASON LIBERALLY. Salt makes a good burger better.

REMEMBER THE BUN. It should be soft and white with some integrity so that it wont fall apart. And this is crucial: Toast it with butter to give the surface a nice crust and to prevent it from absorbing all the juices.

less-expensive brands, such as Zara and H&M. The men who saved their pennies during the recession, on the other hand, not only returned to high-end brands when the economy recovered, but their taste actually became more expensive. According to consultancy firm Bain & Company, between 2009 and 2013, mens luxury spending increased 55 percent, compared with 37 percent among women. The trend makes sense, especially with heritage menswear stores poised to fill a void for men interested in quality and traditional luxury. Truly luxurious menswear is historically intertwined with values that are a breath of fresh air in the modern world. The old-world elegance of a personal connection with your tailor or taking the time for a hot shave at the barber seems synonymous with doing good business or having a strong handshake. Luxury menswear is as much a feeling as it is a look.

T he oath of beloved St. Paul shop Heimies Haberdashery begins with this: On my honor, I will dress my best, be clean in my speech and actions, live my life honestly, and take care of my body for good build and fit. Following the trend set by world luxury icons Prada, Ermenegildo Zegna

and, most notably, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Midwestern men are becoming more inclined to dress to impress and, of course, trust their haberdasher. In early 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported that LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault was spending $137 million in an attempt to reinvigorate menswear brand Berluti and appeal to the ever-growing masculine market. Since the culmination of the great recession, its a general consensus among the retail industry that menswear is where the dollars are to be made. Since 2009, spending on womenswear has transitioned to

These artisans are creating luxury fashion accessories right here in America.| BY STACEY FINNEGAN

S o often when we think of luxury accessories, we get visions of Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton and why wouldnt we? As American consumers, we have

been conditioned to associate luxury goods with fantasies of European travel and the invariably well-heeled designers that grace the cobblestones of Pariss Avenue des Champs-lyses and Milans Via Sant'Andrea. On a recent trip to New York, I let my intuition be my guide as I wandered through the famous Garment District. I stumbled upon some remarkable artisans who are making the Big Apple their home and luxury fashion accessories their lives. Here are their stories.

Anthony Luciano Anthony Luciano was born in upstate New York, and his passion to create bespoke handbags was inspired by his Italian heritage. After receiving his degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, he held many posts before realizing his obsession with vintage handbags and his desire to create one-of-a-kind pieces. It is from this vision that the Anthony Luciano brand was launched in 2000 and immediately picked up by Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. To discover Lucianos workshop on the top floor of an old building in the Garment District was nothing short of a miracle. When I stepped into his production studio, it was like being transported to another place and time. I watched as Luciano and his three fellow artisans worked side by side to hand produce satchels that define luxury. Lucianos creativity is sparked by not only the leathers, skins and vintage components he finds but also by the architecture of New York and the creativity of the other artisans in this fantastic city. Featuring unique elements like his signature leather flowers, each bag takes an average of

Born in the USA

60 hours to craft. His vintage frames are one-of-a-kind; Luciano produces a collection of 20 different day-bag styles, of which only six of each are created. Some of his specialty fabrications include python from Indonesia, fur from Greece, as well as alligator, crocodile and ostrich from South Africa.

Gerard Yosca Gerard Yosca has been quietly hammering away, designing sculptural and wearable jewelry for more than 30 years in his artisan studio in the heart of New York Citys Garment District. A longtime member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, he is a staunch

believer in producing his collections here in America. He skillfully crafts his pieces by hand beginning with wax molds, often inspired by ancient Egyptian jewelry. Yoscas winter 2014 collection is called Powerball and focuses on clean, sculptured domes, discs and teardrops. He uses hammered gold, oxidized silver and rose gold to create his sophisticated yet wearable pieces. Yoscas perspective is that every woman should have at least two to three pieces that test the outer limits of their style as their own pice de rsistance. He loves to see women explore and develop their own personal style, fearlessly avoiding the follow-the-pack mentality. Isnt it time to discover and evolve your look?

In high school, Maria Stanley would go to the Big Dollar Store in Forest Lake and buy armloads of clothes the gaudier, the better: belted dresses from the eighties in block

prints, Big & Tall mens shirts dotted with Hawaiian pineapples, batiked wrap skirts with moons and stars. Then she would rip them up and make new constructions: strappy dresses and camisoles, maxi skirts, and rompers. Today, the 26-year-old does essentially the same thing, but the pay is much better (up from zero). Seven years after graduating from Forest Lake Area High School, the fashion wunderkind is the sole designer for Harlyn, a Los Angelesbased label sold in more than 125 independent boutiques, including shops in Kuwait, Japan and Australia. During its debut season two years ago, the line was picked up by Neiman Marcus. Several of her designs are featured at Anthropologie, where Harlyn is a top seller. For Stanley, the lines heart and soul has always been the prints. What makes her look stand out is the juxtaposition

of strange, novel, even conventionally hideous prints with killer construction. Her cut is highly tailored and playfully sexy think bustier rompers, peg-leg trousers and peplum skirts. For her interview with Artful Living, Stanley chose a silk high-waisted skinny pant with embroidered flamingos on an electric-blue background. Her fall 2014 collection includes a sharply tailored short dress with black-and-white houndstooth and a flared miniskirt of heavy quilted knit fabric with navy squares and forest-green trim. The look is hot but with an edge somewhat akin to lusting after Courtney Love or Mick Jagger. Hollywood calls this sexy-ugly. Harlyn is not an everywoman label; the designs really only zing when worn by women with pixie-ish bodies, like Stanley herself, which might explain why the line hasnt really found traction in the Midwest, despite the designers connection. (The lines hashtag is #harlynbabes for a reason.) Stanleys designs have been favorited by the likes of Beyonc and Lena Dunham, but exactly zero Minnesota boutiques have picked her up aside from the few items

available at Anthropologie. Stanley for her part still has mad Minnesota pride and returns home relatively often to visit family. Dad Randy is a mover and shaker at Parasole Restaurant Holdings and the mastermind behind Mannys Steakhouse; Maria visited in June to fete the opening of his new high-end Wayzata bistro, 6Smith. She has a particularly special relationship with her mom, Dee, a fellow artistic spirit who taught her how to sew and encouraged her fanciful fashion dreams. For the spring 2014 collection, Maria included a sly tribute to Mom: a dreamy open-tie rayon trouser ($261) and matching ruffle-trimmed crop top ($187). She took the fabric from a summer dress her mom sewed in high school: orange, red and lemon-yellow poppies on a creamy pale background. When I showed her the photos, she just cried, Maria says. That ones special for sure.

Look for the Harlyn label at Anthropologie at the Shops at West End, on Grand Avenue, and at 50th & France.

Material Girl Just 26 years old, Minnesota native Maria Stanley is an emerging fashion talent.

made doodles of a hat and a bird in the margins while jotting down lyrics for Like A Rolling Stone, a song that would change the musical conversation from folk to rock. The tune is about a woman who is shunned from her familys upper-class social scene: It was confrontational, electric and revolutionary at six minutes long. And while the song signaled a passage for Dylans career, the recent sale of this landmark document has marked a watershed of its own, selling at Sothebys New York for more than $2 million to an unidentified collector. The handwritten lyrics previously were owned by a California man who says he purchased the document directly from Dylan. Like A Rolling Stone had enough age to make it valuable and desirable, says Richard Austin, head of books and manuscripts at Sothebys New York. The Holy Grail of rock lyrics has taken its rightful place as the most expensive popular-music manuscript sold at auction. The June 2014 sale, entitled Rock & Roll History: Presley to Punk, was the first music-history auction for Sothebys in a decade, and presale viewings attracted people in their 20s up to their 80s. Dylan and the Beatles are always popular, Austin admits, and there is still a strong interest in Elvis Presley, who has transcended the status of a music icon to become an American icon. Taking in more than $4 million, the sale sparked fierce interest for future auctions. Whats hot now? Not just a guitar brought backstage for a musician to sign, but a guitar the musician actually played in concert, Austin says. And if there is a photo of him with the guitar, all the better.

Most any builder can show a beautiful result. The real

question is, how did they get there? And at what emotional

or financial cost? At M|A|Peterson, that result is as important

as how we helped get you there. Lets say you want to build

a new home, or re-design and remodel an interior space. By

simply going with a builder

that so-and-so used so that

must be okay, you run the risk

of spending a similar budget on

a space that is just that, okay.

In other words, created by and

for someone elses needs, not

yours. Theres nothing there

that you helped define, design

and refine. In short, youre missing your one opportunity to

create something that is an extension of your life, beliefs and

aesthetic. And what happens when it comes time to actually

build it out? What level of detail and craftsmanship will

that team bring to the project when its something they

may have done before? Will they pay as much attention

to detail as they did the first time they built it for someone

else? Will they even know why something was designed

a certain way and have an understanding for how to bring

it to life? With M|A|Peterson, youll have creative designers

and craftsmen who collaboratively invent spaces around how

your life functions, and your feel for whats aesthetically

beautiful. Whats more, our designers, and craftsmen all work

as a team from square one, so everyones on board and

there are no surprises. It all starts with talking. We sit with

you. We listen. We ask questions. You explain to us whats

missing, whats working and the blue-sky if onlys. From

these sessions ideas spring out.

Whats possible for you takes

focus. You decide what feels

right and what may need

refinement. And before one

nail meets wood, you clearly

see the new space we both

conceive on paper. The choices

we help you make are with a

deep respect for craft, enduring value and true quality. Over

the past 35 years weve assembled the team and tools to create

spaces that make the process easy and even fun. When you

look at your result, we want you to see more than a beautiful

picture. We want you to get a living space that you truly love.

Get inspired. Visit mapeterson.com to see some of our recent

projects. Then call us and lets talk about how we can help with

yours. When it comes to creating new spaces, How Matters.

In Your Wildest Dreams

I n the case of this compilation, over the top is a trite understatement. Produced by Neiman Marcus CEO Burt Tansky and printed by luxe publisher Assouline, Over the Top is a decadent guilty pleasure in and

of itself. The bound, hardcover tome highlights the most indulgent, excessive gifts featured in the annual Neiman Marcus holiday catalog since 1939, with original imagery and pricing. What to get the person who has everything? Well, in 1970, the faithful paranoid could assuage fears of floods with a recreation of Noahs Ark that could sleep 21 ($588,247). In 1959, impatient carnivores could order a live Black Angus steer, complete with barbecue set, delivered to the front door ($1,925). In 2003, aquatic fetishists could commission a custom-made mermaid suit creating a realistic blend of female and fish ($10,000). Last years catalog included The Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment System, a commercial cinema with a five-meter-wide screen, 16 speakers and four subwoofers, DVD Blu-ray player, and satellite system installed in your backyard ($1.5 million). The fantasy section is a place to dream, imagine and perhaps become slightly aghast at the excessiveness of the gifts. Its in a playful spirit, though, and every present includes a $10,000 donation to the Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation to bring enriching art experiences to youth. Neiman Marcus urges readers to remember that theirs is a world of whimsy, designed to amaze, amuse and ensure customers have somewhere to shop for his-and-hers mini submarines.

Over the Top is available for $60 on assouline.com.

I n Malcolm Gladwells examination of those whove achieved high levels of success in his book Outliers, his central thesis revolves around the 10,000-hour rule. It states that

approximately 10,000 hours of practice at a certain task will establish someone as an expert, a master in his or her field. Juut master stylists Anthony Lickteig and Leah Luebbe have put in their time and paid their dues, but the passion in those hours is what establishes them as experts. Luebbe is a second-generation stylist with childhood memories of toddling around her mothers salon. For Lickteig, hairstyling is truly his passion: After too many hours spent in corporate America, he transitioned to a business where his personal values matched the companys and the enjoyment was inherent in the job, not beyond his grasp. The two masters indulged us with an inside scoop about trends that will be coming

to heads near you. For autumn, well see plenty of center parts and deep side parts with no fringe, says Luebbe. Fall is also an amazing opportunity to experiment with hair accessories, like thick headbands, vintage side barrettes, or even just a sleek and polished ponytail. For men, Lickteig says haircuts will continue to grow out of the shaved sides and back with pompadour style, something he says has reached epic proportions in the past couple years. Its a very cool, natural progression, with some of these styles being a nod to the fifties, he adds. Its even possible well start seeing some good flattops. There is absolutely nothing better as a confidence booster than a great haircut, says Luebbe.

Hyundai masters functional luxury with the 2015 Genesis.| BY MAXWELL SHAPIRO

I n the English lexicon, genesis is synonymous with origin and creation. On the road, Genesis represents quality, performance and all-around luxury. This season, Hyundai introduced its newly remodeled 2015 Genesis, the automakers most impressive sedan to date.

Designed to compete with the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and Lexus GS, the redesigned Genesis sports world-class technology to provide an unparalleled driving experience. The 2015 model was named Consumer Reports top-rated upscale sedan, a remarkable achievement for the South Korean company. Lane-departure warnings, rear-camera technology, blind-spot detection and the worlds first CO2-sensing ventilation system highlight the autos many new features. In addition to the advanced technology, the new HTRAC all-wheel drive makes the Genesis an appealing option for those living in the frozen tundra of the Midwest.

It actively optimizes torque flow to achieve maximum traction, regardless of road conditions. A look inside will leave passengers in awe: The interior features natural-grain wood, a soft, suede-like headliner and contrasting colored piping. Most importantly, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2015 Genesis a five-star safety rating its best possible rating in all impact and strength tests. The autos seatbelts and head restraints also received a superb rating for their whiplash protection in rear impacts. With this second-generation Genesis, Hyundai takes its place as the forerunner in functional luxury.

Starting at $33,800, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis is available from Luther Bloomington Hyundai (952-377-2000, bloomingtonhyundai.com).

Cloudy With a Chance of ChaosThink enduring Minnesota weather is tough? Try forecasting it. | BY MIKE AUGUSTYNIAK

collage || perspective

The conversation always begins the same way. Im in line behind you at the grocery store (with ice cream in my cart, of course), and youre talking to your trusty shopping companion.

They say its supposed to rain/snow/storm/be sunny later. Yeah, right. They always get it wrong. Look, we meteorologists get it criticism comes with the job. Whether the weather affects your livelihood or your cookout, a blown forecast is an enormous inconvenience. Go ahead let us have it! (Please, though, have the courtesy to not blame me for an incorrect forecast someone else made. The moment you say that all forecasters are alike is the moment I tune you out and start thinking about that ice cream melting in my cart.) Why cant you guys just get it right? youve probably wondered. Heres why. Think of the atmosphere as a swimming pool. Whether you cannonball, wade or dip your toe into the water, the ripples eventually travel throughout the entire pool. Weather systems send ripples through the atmosphere, and all systems affect one another. The atmosphere is so complex that, in theory, the small vibrations caused by a butterfly flapping its wings in the Serengeti can cause a

hurricane to form somewhere across the world several weeks later. This idea coined the butterfly effect in 1969 by MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz is a cartoonish (but nevertheless possible) example of chaos theory, how wild outcomes are born of tiny variations. An accurate forecast begins with knowing whats happening now, and we get a pretty good view of that using radar, satellites and ground-based reports. Some of the most important information comes from weather balloons, which are launched from some 800 worldwide locations twice a day and transmit temperature, moisture and wind measurements along their routes to the edge of space. Still, all of that data doesnt give us a 100-percent accurate view of the present; there are gaps in coverage, especially over the oceans. Computers model how the atmosphere and storms behave, but to be accurate, they need to be fed high-quality, up-to-the-minute information more than science can provide. That means that todays forecasts are better than they were a decade ago but are far from perfect. We meteorologists interpret the models and use our forecasting experience to figure out whats going to happen. But when chaos rules, you still might get rained o
