Hurricane Season 2010--Forecast for September

The following long-range forecasts indicate the time and place of likely hurricane or tropical storm activity for the United States.


Forecast
Sept 2-5, 2010
Sun-Mercury conjunctions during hurricane season often coincide with hurricane or tropical storm landfalls at times when Mercury is in retrograde motion. Of course, certain key charts must place the planets over hurricane prone areas of the States in order for this to happen. The Last Quarter Moon of Sept 1st presents this type of setup over longitude 78 west. This line passes through the Carolinas and Virginia.

Sun-Mercury conjunctions usually play out as very windy and stormy conditions. This is why hurricanes often result. If not an actual tropical system, the Mid-Atlantic could face storms producing gusty winds.


Forecast
Sept 18-23, 2010
During this period there exists the possibility of a low pressure area forming in the Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles south of Mobile, Alabama. Another area that could see tropical activity is along the west coast of Florida. So we may be dealing with a tropical system at this time that is drawn from the Gulf to the west coast of Florida. It could also manifest as a strong cold front that triggers severe thunderstorms.

Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.—Orison Swett Marsden

A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.—Gene Roddenberry

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call “failure” is not the falling down but the staying down.—Mary Pickford

Hurricane Season 2010--Forecasts for August

From an astrometeorological perspective, August 2010 could be a very active month for hurricanes. Following are some dates and places that may experience such activity.


August 2-3, 2010
Intense storms are expected throughout the East Central, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast. These storms may bring damaging winds, hail, or tornadoes. It is possible that a tropical system makes landfall over the Carolinas.

August 7-10, 2010
Venus will now activate the alignments between Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. Since these are placed roughly between 79 and 81 west longitude, the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic areas are in for a round of severe weather. This may indicate tropical activity affecting the Florida Peninsula and the Carolinas. These planetary alignments also have the potential to affect Cuba and Panama.



August 14-18, 2010
The eastern Plains and Mississippi Valley are likely to be under severe weather threats now. This could manifest as powerful storms producing large hail, gusty winds, and tornadoes. A tropical system or abundant tropical moisture may affect the eastern Texas and Louisiana area.

Further east, heavy rainfall is indicated for the Mid-Atlantic area either due to tropical moisture being introduced over the area or from an actual tropical system that enters through the Carolinas.

August 18-22, 2010
Planetary alignments at this time suggest very volatile atmospheric conditions that will put the eastern Plains and Mississippi Valley at risk for severe weather. Dangerous thunderstorms and/or tornadoes are indicated in and around Missouri. This may be due to a tropical system that makes landfall over eastern Texas or Louisiana.

The Southeast and Mid-Atlantic are not out of harm’s way either. There are indications that suggest tropical storm or hurricane activity over the Carolinas at this time or at least some kind of severe weather system if not actually tropical in nature.

No one keeps up his enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efforts, new vision. It is one’s own fault if his enthusiasm is gone; he has failed to feed it.—Papyrus

Hurricane Season 2010--Central America Part I

Astrometeorology is all about how the planets of our solar system affect our weather here on earth. One of the key charts used in determining where planetary influences will be localized on earth is the Summer Solstice chart. Two important planets will localize their influence near Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras this summer season. As shown in the map at left, these planets "cross" as it were near those three countries and will be activated at the end of June and early July. Here are some possibilities of what that might mean weather wise.

June 24-27
The Sun's opposition to Pluto, and Mercury's square to Uranus will activate the aforementioned area in and around Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras. This could trigger a strong low-pressure area there bringing the potential for heavy rain. Since we are in hurricane season at this time, one possibility is that this represents a tropical storm or hurricane.

The Full Moon of June 26th also localizes a strong grouping of planets near the same area but on the Pacific side of Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Honduras. This could mean storm or hurricane formation on the western coast of Central America or a system that starts on one side and then crosses to the other.

July 3-6

The same configuration of planets in the Full Moon chart on the Pacific side of Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Panama is activated once again between these dates. This is a strong argument for a powerful low pressure system affecting the area with heavy rains. Once again, a tropical storm or hurricane cannot be ruled out.

If You Think You're Beaten

If you think you're beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost for sure, you won't.

If you think you're losing, you've lost.
For out in the world we find -
Success begins with a person's will,
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise.
You have to stay with it,
In order to win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go,
To the one with the better plan.
For more often than not, you will win,
If only you think you can.

Hurricane Season 2010--Forecast for July

On the following dates there is strong potential for severe weather patterns to develop over the hurricane-prone areas of the United States. While this does not guarantee that the weather patterns will manifest as tropical systems, there is the likelihood they might. These forecasts area based on planetary cycles also known as astrometeorology.


July 22-25

The potential for a low pressure system to develop off the southeast coast of Texas exists now. This could be a tropical system. Serious atmospheric disturbances are indicated along the central and eastern Gulf Coast as well. Once again, this could be indicative of a tropical system threatening the area.
Since a number of the influences at work at this time also affect the Mississippi Valley, another scenario is that destructive storms afflict the area and move eastward through the East Central States and Southeast.

July 23-26

Hurricanes can take crazy paths at times. Since there are indications of potential tropical storm or hurricane activity along the North and South Carolina coasts at this time and also further to the north along the New Jersey coast, one possible weather scenario is that the aforementioned hurricane in the July 22-25 forecast, cuts across Florida and reemerges along the Southeast U.S. coast. From there, the system could strike the Carolinas and parallel the coast until it reaches the New Jersey area. Of course, it could be a tropical system independent of the possible Gulf system, or the Carolinas and New Jersey could be subject to non-tropical severe weather systems.

July 27-31

This five-day stretch is likely to be replete with severe weather. The East Central states, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic are apt to experience severe thunderstorms packing damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes. Since some of these influences affect the Florida Peninsula, it could mean a tropical system enters the U.S. from there and heads northward.

Footprints
By Mary Stevenson

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord, that if I followed You, You would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed You most, have You not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."

Hurricane Season 2010--Forecasts for June

The above NOAA map shows the most likely places for tropical storm and/or hurricane formation to take place in June. On average we get about 1 hurricane forming in June every 2 years. Last year we didn't get a named storm in June. In 2008, we had Tropical Storm Arthur form on May 31st and hit the Yucatan. The year before, 2007, we had an early May subtropical storm--Andrea--form off the northeast coast of Florida, and then on June 1st, Tropical Storm Barry developed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. And in 2006, Tropical Storm Alberto formed on June 10th in the northwest Caribbean.



Following are some dates and places that stand out to me as having potential for tropical storm and/or hurricane formation this June. Sometimes, of course, these weather patterns manifest as some non-tropical weather system, but since we are in hurricane season, it remains a possibility.
These long-range forecasts are based on planetary cycles.

June 9-11
Planetary cycles involving Mercury, Mars, and Neptune are active now. All together this exposes the East Coast areas from Cape Hatteras through New England to a good chance of hurricane or tropical storm activity. Of course, it may manifest as some other type of severe weather pattern that is not tropical in nature, but it is still a chance nonetheless. The tropical system could center about 290 miles due south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina around the 10th of June and begin to track along the coast to Long Island and southern New England.

June 17-20

A severe weather event is indicated over the New England-Nova Scotia area between these dates. A strong low pressure system and high velocity winds are indicated, hence, this could be a tropical system affecting the area.

June 23-26

Two places stand out as likely to experience severe weather, which may manifest as a tropical system. The first is New England-Nova Scotia area again. The second is the area roughly around 240 to 270 miles north of the Dominican Republic. This area may be the spawning grounds for a tropical system. There is the possibility that this is the system that affects the New England-Nova Scotia area or these weather events may be unrelated.
