Updated MODIS 15-arcsecond Landuse

With the 2018122500 forecast, we have switched to a higher resolution, 15 arcsecond vs 30 arcsecond, MODIS landuse dataset with some additional manual editing of cells in Western Washington.

Manual editing of the landuse grids was accomplished using WTOOLS from http://www.nusculus.com/wtools and by using Google Earth.
