Texas Drought Update

Back in November of 2011, I posted an outlook for the Texas spring and summer of 2012. I commented on Neptune's role in astrometeorology as one of the planets that governs the moisture principle. Since Neptune appears over Texas in both the spring and summer charts for 2012, I concluded that moisture will begin to return more in earnest starting with the spring season. This pattern continues in the summer seasonal chart as well but apparently even more so.

I was reminded of this forecast the other day (June 20) when I read a comment on Accuweather.com about how crickets have invaded the Austin, Texas, area due to warm temperatures and recent rains. The combination of warmth and water has created near-perfect conditions for the hatching of cricket eggs. The report mentioned how that since the start of 2012, Austin has received 1.5 times its normal amount of rainfall and in May alone it received 200 percent of its normal rainfall for the month.

The maps below are from the U.S. Drought Monitor. The map on the left shows current drought conditions for June 2012, while the map on the right are drought conditions for Texas 8 months before during October 2011.

In an excellent article by Daniel Ramirez posted on June 21, 2012 and entitled In Drought, Texas Is No Longer "Exceptional" For Now, he explains that no portion of the state is in exceptional drought compared to last October. Despite the encouraging news, conventional forecasters see problems ahead as they're expecting more dry weather in the near future. Ramirez concludes his article with some good news: conventional meteorologists foresee a developing El NiƱo by late summer. This usually bodes well for Texas bringing normal to above normal rainfall. This could be what I'm seeing and commented on in my November post with Neptune's presence over Texas in the summer season chart.

June 10-14, 2012 Forecast Results

Two forecasts were posted regarding the period between June 10-14, 2012. The first one was posted on April 29, 2012 and the second on May 19, 2012. The first forecast indicated that the New England and area and eastern Canada would be subject to windy and stormy conditions due to the aspects of Mercury to Uranus and Pluto. It also pinpointed an area about 480 miles off the North Carolina coast for low pressure formation. The second forecast pinpointed another area off the North Carolina coast for potential tropical storm development.

On June 12th, Accuweather reported

Drenching Downpours Shift into Northeast
A surge of tropical moisture lifting into the Northeast ahead of an approaching front will set the stage for widespread showers and thunderstorms today. Downpours can produce locally up to an inch or more of rainfall in any given location, which can lead to urban and small stream flooding.

The Weather Channel reported "Rain and showers, measuring up to 1 inch, will shift eastward across New England, east New York and New Jersey Wednesday (June 13). Breezy conditions are likely along the Mid-Atlantic coast.

The Weather Channel map below is for June 12, 2012.

The Accuweather map below is for June 14th and shows the low pressure area off the North Carolina coast. The low did not develop tropical characteristics. On the 15th, Accuweather reported that this offshore low would help create cool coastal breezes and stiff winds with big waves along the Atlantic Seaboard. ussu0090

The Solar Eclipse of November 13, 2012

In some recent posts we've looked at how the May 2012 solar eclipse will affect weather patterns. (See links below) In this post, I'm jumping ahead to the Solar Eclipse of November 13, 2012. This eclipse sets up some interesting planetary crossings around the world. As we've seen from the May eclipse, these crossings affect weather patterns at the time of the eclipse and latter on when the eclipse is activated. For now, we'll just look at the period of November 12-15, 2012, which is roughly the time when we should see a weather reaction. In a later post, I'll hopefully be able to list other dates when the eclipse will be triggered.

One recurring theme that we find in all the crossings that we'll look at is that involving the planet Neptune. As I've mentioned in other posts, Neptune's weather signature is that of rising temperatures and humidity, southerly winds, low pressure, fog, and heavy downpours. At the time of the eclipse, Neptune is in exact square with a retrograde Mercury, which increase the storm potential of Neptune.

United States

The first crossing we'll look at involves the U.S. and western Atlantic. The astro-locality map below shows two places where Neptune and Jupiter cross. U.S.

The first crossing in the western Atlantic falls around 53 west longitude and 23 north latitude. Since we are in hurricane season at this time, there is a strong possibility that a tropical storm or hurricane will either form around this area or be drawn to this area now.

The second crossing is off the U.S. West Coast around 133 west longitude and 41 north latitude. This crossing suggests a powerful low pressure area that could affect the U.S. and Canadian west coasts at this time.

South America

S.A.

Neptune runs along the 53rd meridian of west longitude through Brazil and Uruguay. Mercury crosses Neptune over central Brazil where strong storms should develop. The Sun and Moon cross Neputne over Uruguay and Southern Brazil where storm emergenices are likely to develop at this time due to excessive precipitation.

Europe


Europe

Another Sun-Moon-Neptune crossing takes place over Romania and western Russia. The area in and around this crossing run the risk of severe thunderstorms at this time. Heavy downpours are a common occurrence when the planet Neptune is square Mercury as in this case.

Korea

Korea

Most Pacific typhoons form bewteen May and November. Since this Sun-Moon-Neptune crossing forms within this time period, we can't rule out a typhoon, or at least some very powerful storm system, hitting South Korea at this time.

June 4-7, 2012 Forecast Results

On April 22nd, I posted a forecast for the New England area for the period between June 4-7. Taking into account planetary configurations between the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Pluto, I spoke of these forming an "X marks the spot" just off the southern coast of Maine. The idea was that there would be an atmospheric disturbance over the area resulting in severe storms, and, in the worst case scenario, an early tropical system. Here's the astro-locality map I included with the forecast. New England Astro

Soaking rain began to crawl through the New England area as early as June 2nd, a couple of days earlier than I anticipated. Maine and New Hampshire were to get between 2 and 4 inches. This storm system was to linger across northern New England throughout the 4th and 5th keeping New England cool and unsettled through the week. Compare the above astro-locality map with the Accuweather map depicting the low pressure area on Monday, the 4th. 03 Maine

The planetary crossing in the astro-locality map accurately depicts the location of the actual low pressure area. Today is the 6th and the National Weather Service is saying that the low is now over the maritimes and will begin to move eastwards late Thursday (7th). All in all the planetary indications accurately described the resulting weather. This forecast was made 43 days beforehand.

July 20-29, 2012 Long-range Weather Forecast

The National Weather Service map below is for November 26, 2011. As you may recall, this weather pattern brought a drastic temperature roller coaster ride, high winds that created difficult travel conditions in the Plains, and two storm systems that combined bringing rain and snow from the Upper Midwest to the middle Mississippi Valley.  

By the 27th, five inches of rain doused eastern Tennessee and the southern Appalachians causing flash flooding as tropical moisture was drawn up from the south.

Nov 26

From an astrometeorological standpoint, this weather system was brought on by the Solar Eclipse of November 25, 2011. These Solar Eclipses stay active for a few years and can be jolted into action again and again when other planets trigger the eclipse degree. This particular Solar Eclipse will be activated once again around July 21, 2012. The activating planet in this case is Neptune. Its effect on weather patterns is to increase southerly airflow and moisture often resulting in increasing temperatures and heavy rain. Neptune's pluvial influence will also be operative in the Solar Ingress chart affecting the Plains and the Mississippi Valley into the Great Lakes area.

July 20-23, 2012
Based on the foregoing, I think we can expect an increase in moisture over the Plains resulting in higher temperatures and the activation of a storm center that has the potential to bring heavy rain. The low pressure area will then continue towards the east affecting the Mississippi Valley area into the Appalachians.

Solar Eclipse of January 4, 2011
This eclipse will also be triggered on July 27, 2012 by the square of Mars. In 2011, this eclipse had a history of bringing heavy rains in April and historic flooding in May to the Mississippi River Valley as well as other severe weather. Although the weather over the Mississippi Valley this time should not be as drastic as in 2011, there is the potential for above average moisture there and over the eastern half of the country. In addition, windy conditions are indicated over the Rockies.

Another interesting feature of this eclipse is shown in the astro-locality map below. Venus and Neptune, at the time of the eclipse, focused their energies over the Pacific coasts of El Salvador and Guatemala. Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus congregate over the Lesser Antilles. Both these areas will be activated now.

Caribbean July 26-29, 2012
We are likely to see weather patterns develop at this time over the Rockies where windy conditions or storms generating wind gusts are indicated. The Mississippi Valley and into the eastern part of the country should experience above-average moisture in the form of heavy rains. The tropics should spring to life over the Pacific coasts of El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as over the Lesser Antilles where tropical storm systems could develop.
