Heat Alerts Fulfill Long-range Forecast

The long-range weather forecast for July 1-11, 2011 is beginning to shape up as excessive heat warnings are being issued for the central U.S. The Weather Channel map below shows where the heat alerts are for today.

The long-range forecast posted on June 18th talked about how the astrometeorological effect of Venus would begin being felt around July 1st. Venus' influence was described as increasing the moisture content of the atmosphere accompanied by a southerly air flow and increasing temperatures.

The mercury is starting to rise over the central U.S. with temperatures in some of these locations reaching between 100 to 110 degrees! Accuweather warns that the heat will continue for the next couple of days and be accompanied by high levels of humidity as well. As we progress into the forecast period, we'll look at how the rest of the forecast fared.

Rockies Forecast Result

In the May 21st post Neptune and Rockies Flood Potential, I explained how the astrometeorological influence of the planet Neptune correlates with southerly air flows, winter thaws, and snow slides. In other posts, I've mentioned Neptune's tendency toward flooding.

Since Neptune was influencing the western U.S. during the spring season, I gave some dates when those weather patterns would be activated.

The first one was May 22nd when the Sun squared Neptune. The Weather Channel reported on that date that a potent storm was moving into the Pacific Northwest and that "the threat of flooding from the rain, snow melt, or a combination of those will continue in Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming."

June 3rd brought Mercury's square to Neptune. This date saw a very unusual low pressure system whose end result brought "periods of rain (locally heavy), high elevation snow in the Sierra Nevada and perhaps a few severe storms with hail, gusty winds..." according to the Weather Channel.

June 8th was the date of the Jupiter-Neptune sextile. On June 7th the National Weather Service reported, "Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected to continue today across the northern Rockies and northern Plains, with flooding is possible throughout parts of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and western Washington and Oregon. Flash Flood and Flood Watches and Warnings are in effect for these areas."

Venus square Neptune was exact on the June 10th. More showers and thunderstorms hit the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. Some showers and thunderstorms also were possible in the higher elevations of Colorado.

Mercury's trine to Neptune was on June 16th. The National Weather Service reported on that date that "in Utah, large creeks and mainstem rivers will periodically rise above flood stage for the next several weeks due to warmer temperatures and resultant snowmelt increases. In California, snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada has resulted in minor flooding of the Merced River in Yosemite National Park."

Hurricane Beatriz Fulfills Long-range Weather Prediction!

In my May 14th post of this year entitled Hurricane Season 2011 Baja, Mexico, I issued a long-range weather forecast for June 21-23, 2011. The forecast indicated that a tropical storm or hurricane was likely over the tip of southern Baja between these dates. The map below shows that Hurricane Beatriz will pass by the southern Baja between the 22nd and 23rd effectively fulfilling the forecast.

July 1-11 Long-range Weather Forecast

Around July 1st, from an astrometeorological view, Venus begins to affect the Mississippi Valley. The influence of Venus on the weather tends to increase the moisture content of the atmosphere. Winds are generally from the south accompanied by rising temperatures. This corresponds to a maritime tropical air mass, which should be especially pronounced around the 4th.


As we move into the 7th through the 10th and Venus makes its square to Uranus and its opposition to Pluto, the indications are for a more disruptive influence on the weather. Coupled with other aspects, moisture will be drawn up from the Gulf generating storms up through the central Mississippi Valley. There is a chance that a tropical system will form in the Gulf around 90 west longitude and 23 north latitude.

The area in and around the Bahamas is another area that may show signs of tropical storm development around July 7-10.

Forecast Results June 10-16, 2011

Two areas of the country were specified for severe weather in the long-range weather forecast for June 10-16. The first area encompassed the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles northward through Nebraska. A strong low pressure area was forecast to bring severe weather that would continue eastward to the Mississippi Valley.

Accuweather reported that as early as Saturday (June 11th)destructive thunderstorms tore over a zone from far southeastern Montana into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. The storms continued to march eastward bringing flooding downpours to eastern Kansas and Missouri on the 12th.

By the 14th, severe thunderstorms shifted eastward into parts of the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys with damaging winds, hail, and some possible tornadoes according to Accuweather. The above Accuweather map shows the area in question fulfilling the long-range forecast based on planetary cycles involving Saturn, the Sun, and Mercury.

The second part of the forecast stated that the Gulf of Mexico from north of the Yucatan (around 89W/23N) to western Cuba might be worth watching for signs of tropical activity between June 10-14. No major system developed at this time. The National Weather Service did mention that a cyclonic center developed around 85W/28N on the 11th, which was the general area I pinpointed. Other than that, the Gulf was largely lifeless. For those tuning into the planetary aspects that these forecasts are based on, the Sun's conjunction to Mercury was the basis for this forecast, however, the Sun's conjunction to a retrograde Mercury (the inferior conjunction) seems to be more powerful in spawning tropical systems when occurring during hurricane season than the Sun's conjunction to a direct Mercury (the superior conjunction). The conjunction on June 12th was a superior conjunction.

June 3-7, 2011 Forecast Results

We've had some interesting weather out west in recent days from record-shattering rain in California due to an out-of-season low pressure system, the third-largest wildfire in Arizona's history, and the first tropical depression of 2011. Since this period and area of the country were the focus of my long-range weather forecast for June 3-7, let's see how the forecast turned out.

My May 26 post began by pointing out that on the 3rd of June Mercury would make a 90-
degree or storm-breeding aspect to Neptune at the same time that Neptune began its apparent retrograde motion, which has been observed to coincide with excessive humidity and abundant moisture. I mentioned that these planets affected the western U.S. the Baja Peninsula, and the area around Guadalajara, Mexico. I concluded that the aforementioned areas would receive an influx of moisture due to low pressure systems or fronts. This was definitely the case with the California storm, although I didn't mention California in particular but just the western U.S.



I thought that the Arizona area would see an increase in monsoonal flow bringing abundant moisture. On the contrary, dry and windy conditions have brought one of the largest wildfires to Arizona during this period. What's up with that? While I focused on Neptune's pluvial influence, one of the major ingredients was Mercury's square to Neptune. Mercury is known for its connection with windy conditions and as McCormack stated in his "Astrotech Weather Guide," "Mercury is largely concerned with wind direction and velocity and predicates sporadic strong winds." Looks like I missed that one completely. Throughout the forecast period numerous red flag warnings were in effect for Arizona due to the strong winds. Even the Baja Peninsula, one of the areas I included in the forecast, began the forecast period with warnings for strong winds as shown by the green area on the following map. The map legend relates the green area to "vientos fuertes" or strong winds.



The forecast period ended with the formation of Tropical Storm Adrian. In the forecast I suggested the possibility of the Guadalajara and Baja areas being affected by a tropical system or other type of severe weather. As it stands now, Accuweather commented this morning that one possible path for Adrian takes it toward Mexico somewhere between Jalisco (Guadalajara) and Michoacan or northern Guerrero although it takes it there or near there a bit later than I thought.
