Saint Patrick's Day 2010 Weather Forecast

Here’s the Saint Patrick’s Day 2010 long-range weather forecast for the central and eastern United States and for the United Kingdom.


Central and Eastern United States
March 13-17, 2010

Starting on the 13th, penetratingly cold air descends over the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes area on gusty winds lowering temperatures and continuing southward easily reaching the central and eastern Gulf Coast States. Here are two ways this may play out:


Scenario 1:
The cold air is due to a high pressure system that dosen’t bring much precipitation with it but barrels down toward the Gulf Coast and also spreads eastward toward the Northeast U.S.
Scenario 2:
As often happens with cold air masses, it interacts with moisture already in place bringing significant precipitation and forms a low pressure system that results in a strong winter storm. The storm system then tracks toward the Northeast U.S.



In both scenarios, we could see lake-effect snows on the southern portions of the Great Lakes.

A chance of rain is indicated for New York City on the 17th for the 248th Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. At the same time the aforementioned weather system (in scenarios 1 and 2) from the central U.S. is moving eastward and due to hit NYC on the evening of the 17th although some models show it hitting earlier.


United Kingdom
March 13-17, 2010

A cold air mass works its way southward and eastward over the United Kingdom. Windy conditions and precipitation are likely.

Think About it...


While three-fifths of the World's population worries about hunger and survival, we anxiously wrestle with overweight and boredom. Every newspaper supplies increasing evidence that in terms of gross national product, comfort, and personal income, we are superior, yet, in personal relationships and inner peace, we are revealing that we do not know how to live. We are artists at having and failures at being.

Super Bowl Sunday 2010 Weather Forecast

Super Bowl Sunday will take place on February 7, 2010 at Miami's Dolphin Stadium. This de facto American holiday is the second largest U.S. food consumption day after Thanksgiving.


The city of Miami has often hosted the Super Bowl due to its agreeable February weather. The average daytime temperature in Miami at this time of year is 78 degrees with a nighttime average temperature reading of 61.

Conventional meteorology is extremely limited in its ability to forecast weather conditions beyond 3 or 4 days. Even with the help of the latest supercomputers, which can run about one trillion calculations every second, meteorologists can only expect this upgraded technology to slightly improve the accuracy of their 3-to-4-day forecasts. The idea of forecasting Miami's weather for Feb 7, 2010 on Nov 14, 2009 is not even remotely possible.

The ancient study of astro-meteorology, which considers planetary cycles as indicators of terrestrial weather patterns allows one to look far into the future. Since planetary positions can be known months and years in advance, and since a reliable body of knowledge of each planet's influence on our weather has been compiled and tested over thousands of years, an astro-meteorologist can look ahead and make a pretty accurate forecast. Of course, no forecast method, be it conventional or otherwise, can claim 100% accuracy but astro-meteorology offers the best possibility for long-range predictions as has been shown on this site.

In looking at the planetary line-up over Miami for February 7th, we find a conjunction of the planets Venus and Neptune. These planets when aligned are associated with southerly air flows and an increase in moisture. Under Venus-Neptune rainfall can be heavy, at times leading to flash flooding. The Moon will trigger this pair the day before. So it appears that starting on the 6th into the 7th there is a strong possibility of rain for the Miami area and Florida in general. Hopefully, it won't spoil too much of the fun but if you're headed that way, you might want to be prepared.

Action is Everything

If learning about success was all that it took to do great things with your life, then your success would be guaranteed. The bookstores are full of self-help books, each one of them loaded with ideas that you can use to be more successful. The fact is, however, that all the best advice in the world will only help you if you can motivate yourself to take persistent, continuous action in the direction of your goals until you succeed. --Brian Tracy

Nor'easter and Oct-Nov 2009 Forecast Results

The Weather Alternative forecast for Nov 5-7 is being fulfilled by the developing Nor'easter over New England. Today's Accuweather article "Cold Winds to Grip Northeast" explains how a storm will intensify as it moves off the New England coast tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday (Nov 5-6). Temps will feel like they're in the teens due to strong northerly winds on the back side of the storm. Some areas of the Northeast will have an early season snowfall.


The Weather Alternative forecast for this time period was posted on June 16, 2009 and stated Mars conjoins the solar eclipse degree over the Northeast U.S. Expect storms through the area. This may also affect the Windward Islands, which may see some tropical activity.

As far as tropical activity affecting the Windward Islands, the National Weather Service today reported that two small low pressure systems are centered north of the Leeward Islands.

Another long-range forecast for October 30-Nov 2, 2009 mentioned to watch for possible tropical storm formation in the western Atlantic around 52 west longitude and 15 north latitude.

On October 29th, the National Weather Service reported a tropical wave along 55 west to the south of 16 north was bringing strong showers and thunderstorms to the area.

On November 2nd, they reported another tropical wave along 55 west.

Another forecast for October 29-Nov 2, 2009 called for a storm system over the U.S. Intermountain West and possible tropical storm activity 540 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas.

No tropical storm activity was reported, but on October 29th, a storm system hit the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. Rain hit Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. About 1-3 inches of snow covered the northern Rockies.

Thanksgiving 2009 Forecast

The Weather Alternative long-range weather forecast based on planetary cycles for November 23-27, 2009.


West U.S.

Forecast
Most charts coincide with a storm system moving through the Pacific Northwest into the Intermountain West on the 23rd and 24th. The coastal Pacific Northwest might get some pleasant weather on the 25th, but further inland over the Intermountain West the 26th and 27th looks stormy.

Plains

Forecast
The 23rd starts with moist air being drawn up over Texas and the southern and eastern Plains initiating storms. Cooler air is drawn southward at this time over the Rockies triggering storms along the Front Range area. Around the 24th, the southern Rockies area centering around New Mexico will have unsettled weather. More cooler Canadian air makes it way southward on the 25th and 26th over the Northern Plains and then meets with moist air creating storms over the Plains.

Mississippi Valley

Forecast
The mid-Mississippi Valley area in and around Missouri shows a low pressure area or front bringing rain around the 24th. By the 25th and 26th this develops into more rainy weather for the Mississippi Valley.
East U.S.

Forecast
On the 23rd, a front is indicated running the length of the East Coast from Florida through New York generating showers. On the 24th, with more moisture being funneled up over Florida and the Southeast, storms are indicated over the area in and around North Carolina and Virginia. Fair conditions seem to make it into the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast by the 25th and 26th.

New England

Forecast

The 26th and 27th are very stormy over the New England area. Indications of severe weather in the lunar eclipse chart of August 5, 2009 will be activated now. The last time these were triggered tropical rainstorm Danny gave a glancing blow to the New England area bringing winds gusting between 40-60 mph and flash flooding due to torrential rainfall that dropped between 2-5 inches of rain. Yikes!

More October 2009 Forecast Results

Here are the results of a number of long-range weather forecasts for various dates in October. The first was for October 21-24, 2009. The forecast was posted on June 16th of this year.

Forecast
October 21-24, 2009: The transit Sun will make it’s first square to the eclipse degree. The Rockies once again should see a front triggering storms or low pressure area.

Results
The Accuweather map above is for October 21st showing a low pressure system over the southern Rockies. Heavy snow buried the mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Seventeen inches of snow fell near Cuchara, Colorado. Other portions of Colorado received between 4 to 15 inches.

Another Weather Alternative forecast posted back in June is the following:

Forecast

Oct 22-25, 2009: Saturn conjoins the solar eclipse along 88 west longitude, which is roughly the Mississippi Valley area. Since the Gulf of Mexico, and Central America are also affected, this should be a time of strong storms and possible hurricane activity there.

Results

The Weather Channel map (above right) is for October 22nd and shows a strong low pressure area and front affecting the Mississippi Valley. Accuweather reported the area was hit with drenching rain. Moisture from Hurricane Rick enhanced the torrential downpours.

The forecast also mentioned possible strong storms or hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Central America.

Nothing tropical developed in the Gulf but, as shown in the Accuweather Map at left for October 22nd, an area of low pressure formed in the southwestern Caribbean causing heavy rain and thunderstorms across Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras.

Another forecast for eastern Texas read as follows:

Forecast

Oct 23-24, 2009 ...the weather over eastern Texas at this time should include storms that generate strong winds be they from a tropical system, tornadoes, or severe thunderstorms etc.

Results

As shown in the Accuweather map for the 22nd (a day before my forecast) eastern Texas was getting flooding downpours. There were tornadoes and damaging wind gusts. (See below)

Accuweather, Oct 22nd: In only 3 hours, 4.29 inches of rain poured down and inundated Fannett, Texas, on Thursday. Arkadelphia, Ark., had 5 inches of rain. High floodwaters stranded motorists and kept firefighters busy with high water rescues. Water was up to windows of cars in Beaumont, Texas. Some communities located along swollen bodies of water had flooding. Many homes and businesses were flooded by up to a foot of water in Farmerville, La. Some of the storms became severe and produced damaging wind gusts on top of the heavy downpours. Tornadoes touched down in the Cameron and Jefferson Davis Parishes of Louisiana during the midday and afternoon hours.

This next forecast was posted in September.

Forecast

Oct 24-26, 2009 Moisture is drawn up over the Plains resulting in storms over the Dakotas and Nebraska.

Results

From Accuwether October 24:

The latest storm system will put a damper on some outdoor plans through Monday (Oct 26) as it spreads rain from the Dakotas and Nebraska to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
The rain will mix with or change over to snow on the western fringe, including in places like Scottsbluff, Neb., Rapid City, S.D., and Bismarck, N.D., through Sunday. Several inches could accumulate in the Black Hills of South Dakota by Sunday.
