Tropical Storm Alex Fulfills Long-range Prediction!

The Weather Alternative long-range for June 24-27, 2010 was posted on the preceding 8th of April. The forecast called for a strong low pressure area or possible tropical storm in and around the area of Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras.





On June 25th, Tropical Depression 1 formed 90 miles off the coast of Honduras fulfilling the long-range forecast. TD-1 has now become Tropical Storm Alex. The National Weather Service map at left shows the area in which TD-1 formed.

Compare that area with the area that the astrometeorological map emphasized and that I used to formulate the forecast. It is this type of correspondence between planetary alignments and major weather patterns that has convinced just about every open-minded investigator as to the truth of astrometeorological influence.

The forecast also mentioned that other planetary alignments were affecting those same countries but on the Pacific side. As can be seen from the National Weather Service map at left, the influence of Tropical Storm Alex "spills over" in to that area as well.

God Makes Sense of the Universe’s Complexity
“In the last thirty-five years,” Craig said, “scientists have been stunned to discover that the Big Bang was not some chaotic, primordial event, but rather a highly ordered event that required an enormous amount of information. In fact, from the very moment of its inception, the universe had to be fine-tuned to an incomprehensible precision for the existence of life like ourselves. And that points in a very compelling way toward the existence of an Intelligent Designer.

“Scientifically speaking, it’s far more probable for a life-prohibiting universe to exist than a life-sustaining one. Life is balanced on a razor’s edge.”

As an example, he cited Hawking’s writings. “He has calculated,” Craig said, “that if the rate of the universe’s expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have collapsed into a fireball.”

In short order, Craig proceeded to go down a list of several other mind-boggling statistics to support his conclusion. Among them:

British physicist P. C. W. Davies has concluded the odds against the initial conditions being suitable for the formation of stars—a necessity for planets and thus life—is a one followed by at least a thousand billion billion zeroes.

Davies also estimated that if the strength of gravity or of the weak force were changed by only one part in a ten followed by a hundred zeroes, life could never have developed.

There are about fifty constants and quantities—for example, the amount of usable energy in the universe, the difference in mass between protons and neutrons, the ratios of the fundamental forces of nature, and the proportion of matter to antimatter—that must be balanced to a mathematically infinitesimal degree for any life to be possible. --The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel

West Coast Weather Concerns July 23-31, 2010

The U.S. West Coast may experience an anomalous weather pattern between July 23-31. The month of July is usually one of the sunniest and driest months for the West Coast States. A number of planetary alignments, however, especially between the 23rd and 26th, then again between the 30th and 31st, may bring out-of-season storminess to the region.

The ordeal starts on the 23rd as Jupiter makes its retrograde station. In other words, from our viewpoint on earth, Jupiter appears to travel backwards in the heavens. A key chart places Jupiter overhead along the 118th west longitude. This line runs through Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and California. Jupiter will be in a disruptive alignment with Pluto at this time.

Other disruptive alignments take place between Mercury and Neptune, and between Saturn and Uranus on the 26th. Key charts place these planets over the western Pacific between 130 and 135 west longitude. Since these alignments have been observed to coincide with storm conditions, we may conclude that a low pressure area or strong cold front will push eastward into the Pacific Northwest and perhaps California at this time.

Then on the 30th and 31st, the opposition of Mars and Uranus, a breeder of high velocity winds, and the conjunction of Mars and Saturn, known to produce severe weather systems, will operate off the U.S. West Coast and send a disruptive weather pattern eastward.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs are encouraged more and more to think out of the box. Well, if you like to think out of the box, which I do and one of the reasons that astrometeorology appeals to me, you'll find that these forecasts based on planetary cycles are just that. One really needs to break out of the mold of conventional approaches to weather forecasting to consider that there may actually be a connection between our weather and our solar system.

Does suffering help prove or disprove the existence of God?


“It’s significant that most objections to the existence of God from the problem of suffering come from outside observers who are quite comfortable, whereas those who actually suffer are, as often as not, made into stronger believers by their suffering.”

That’s a phenomenon many writers have noted. After wide-ranging research into the topic of suffering, Philip Yancey wrote, “As I visited people whose pain far exceeded my own ... I was surprised by its effects. Suffering seemed as likely to reinforce faith as to sow agnosticism.” Scottish theologian James S. Stewart said: “It is the spectators, the people who are outside, looking at the tragedy, from whose ranks the skeptics come; it is not those who are actually in the arena and who know suffering from the inside. Indeed, the fact is that it is the world’s greatest sufferers who have produced the most shining examples of unconquerable faith.”

Heavy Rains for Puerto Rico and Haiti

The Weather Alternative warning for a possible hurricane for Puerto Rico and Hispañola between June 17-19 is finding some fulfillment in the tropical wave that is dumping heavy rains over the islands.

The Weather Channel reports that flash flood watches are posted through Sunday afternoon for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Locally heavy showers will spread westward into the Dominican Republic and Haiti as well.

The purpose of The Weather Alternative forecasts is to provide a look further into the future than conventional methods can at present provide. This is accomplished through the amazing correspondence that becomes obvious between planetary alignments and earthly weather systems when these alignments are properly interpreted. I don't always get them spot on and I've learned much over the years that has helped me understand how to better interpret them. So this site is to share the enthrallment I experience doing this and the practical benefits as well.

I also expected possible severe weather over the New England-Nova Scotia area between June 17-20. I thought it might be a result of a tropical system. I did mention that it could be A strong low pressure system and high velocity winds.

There is no tropical system but the National Weather Service today has posted the following:


THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN NEW YORK...CENTRAL
VERMONT...NORTHEAST VERMONT...NORTHWEST VERMONT AND SOUTHERN
VERMONT.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
EXIST LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT OVER SOUTHEAST ONTARIO PROVINCE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE INTO THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY OF NEW YORK BY MID ... STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS.



A similar warning is posted for Maine, while Canada's weather service has issued the same for southerns Quebec.

A low pressure area also passed through the region on the 17th.

Forecast Results June 9-11, 2010

In the first of my Hurricane 2010 forecasts posted on April 1, of this year, I mentioned that planetary cycles involving Mercury, Mars, and Neptune would expose the East Coast areas from Cape Hatteras to New England to possible tropical activity or if not an actual tropical system, some other type of severe weather pattern. The time frame was between June 9-11. I mentioned the possibility of a tropical system centering about 290 miles south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina around the 10th of June and tracking along the East Coast to New England.

Fortunately, for the inhabitants of the East Coast, no tropical storm resulted. The Weather Channel map above is for June 11th and shows a low pressure area off the North Carolina coast.


The Accuweather map at right shows their weekend forecast for June 12-13. Notice the low pressure area over Virginia coast. Their article was entitled Humid Air Returns with Flash Flooding Risk this Weekend in the Northeast.

This is exactly what is happening. As we speak, the National Weather Service has issued the following types of Alerts for the area:


Massachusetts- Marine Alerts
New Jersey- Special Weather Alert
New York- Flash Flood, Flood, Marine
North Carolina- Special Weather Alerts
Pennsylvania- Flash Flood, Flood, Marine
Virginia- Flash Flood, Special Weather Alerts
West Virginia- Flash Flood, Special Weather Alerts

But even before these, which are a day late according to my forecast, on the 9th Accuweather reported thunderstorms capable of producing flash flooding, hail, damaging wind gusts and volleys of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes will stretch from Tennessee and northern Mississippi to southeastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula through Wednesday evening.

What You Never Learned in School
Soccer player Kyle Rote Jr. remarked, “There is no doubt in my mind that there are many ways to be a winner, but there is really only one way to be a loser and that is to fail and not look beyond the failure.” How people see failure and deal with it—whether they possess the ability to look beyond it and keep achieving—impacts every aspect of their lives.

In Leadership Magazine, J. Wallace Hamilton states, “The increase of suicides, alcoholics, and even some forms of nervous breakdowns is evidence that many people are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival.”

Training for failure! That is a great concept, and it’s the idea that prompted me to write this book. I want to help you train for failure. I want you to learn how to confidently look the prospect of failure in the eye and move forward anyway. Because in life, the question is not if you will have problems but how you are going to deal with your problems. Are you going to fail forward or backward? --Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell

Possible June Hurricane for Hispañola and Puerto Rico

The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico may be in for some hurricane or tropical storm activity between June 17-19, 2010.

The New Moon of June 12th, along with the Full Moon of May 27th, and the First Quarter Moon of June 18th all imply that these islands will be affected by a tropical system that strikes them after originating to the south of the islands or passing along their southern coasts.

At this time the Sun and Saturn will form a square aspect, which has been noted to result in atmospheric disturbance.
