December 2014 Forecast Results Part 1

Here are some results of the December 2014 Weather Predictions that I posted on December 5th. In this post, I followed a number of solar eclipses that were being triggered during December and forecast the weather conditions that, according to my experience with astro-meteorology, would result.

December 16

The first forecast period was centered on December 16th. The area to be affected was the U.S. eastern Plains where stormy conditions were to ensue. The astro-locality map of the April 29, 2014 solar eclipse on which I based the forecast is repeated below.



Compare the crossing of planetary lines over the U.S. eastern Plains with the low pressure area in Weather Channel map for December 15th below.



The National Weather Service in part reported, "...Swath of accumulating snows expected with a wrapped up storm system tracking through the central U.S...Moisture being pulled from
the Gulf of Mexico will fuel moderate to heavy rains...with embedded
thunderstorms..."

December 19

The next forecast discussed the solar eclipse of November 3, 2013. Here I considered 4 areas that would be affected by severe weather: the eastern Plains, the Rockies/Plains boundary, the Pacific Northwest and northern California, and the Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee area. Let's look at each one.

Eastern Plains

The forecast called for severe weather during the period from the 19th and into the next few days. A large storm system, according to the National Weather Service, is set to produce precipitation across the Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas on the 22nd.

Rockies-Plains

The boundary between the Rockies and Plains is having a bit more of a weather reaction. The Weather Channel map below for the 19th shows a stationary front forming along the length of the area. The front is causing patchy freezing fog over parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles all the way south to the Texas-New Mexico state lines. Fog is also a problem along the front in North Dakota. Gusty winds and snow are expected in southeastern Montana on the 20th. Gusty winds and heavy snow will also affect southeastern Wyoming and reach down to Colorado due to a low driving southeast into the Plains.




Pacific Northwest and Northern California

The above map also shows a cold front entering the Pacific Northwest and northern California. In the words of Accuweather on December 18th: Northwest Storm to Unleash Heavy Rain, Fierce Winds.

Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee 

A low pressure area and rain are forecast to move into this area and produce rain over Georgia and Alabama. As can be seen from map below, rain is affecting this very area.

January 19-25, 2015 East Coast Nor'easter and Southern California Storm

The seven-day period from January 19-25 has some interesting planetary alignments that seem to promise noteworthy weather on both the East and West coasts of the United States. The line up is as follows: Venus opposition Jupiter, and Mars conjunct Neptune on the 19th, Mars parallel Neptune on the 20th, Mercury's retrograde station on the 21st, and a Mercury-Venus parallel, and Sun-Saturn parallel on the 25th.

West Coast

When taken together, the aspects on the 19th and 20th increase the availability of warm, moist air over the West Coast states. Mercury's retrograde station, known for its tendency to bring cold fronts and windy conditions, then kicks in. Key charts place this influence over Southern California. As we progress toward the end of the forecast period, the final planetary combinations provide a clash between warm, moist are from the Mercury-Venus combination, and cold, damp air as represented by the Sun and Saturn. So, a storm system bringing windy conditions seems to be indicated over the West Coast states as far as south as Southern California.




East Coast

The New Moon chart of January 20th, places the aforementioned Mercury and Saturn over the East Coast especially over North Carolina. The New Moon itself will trigger the solar eclipse of October 23, 2014, which set up a configuration of planets over the Northeast United States that spells storm conditions. One scenario is that a strong cold front penetrates the eastern portion of the country and produces a low pressure area over the Carolinas that then moves northward to the Northeast and New England perhaps with Nor'easter potential. Speaking of Nor'easters, I just checked the weather records for October 23, 2014 when the solar eclipse set up the initial configuration I mentioned above. Guess what? A Nor'easter hit the area. Here's the Weather Channel map below.


Their headlines read, "Nor'easter in the Northeast, soaking in the Northwest." At that time soaking rains covered the Northeast and New England with northeast winds from 15 to 35 mph. The scenario for January 19-25 may be similar.

December 2014 Weather Predictions

This month there are a number of solar eclipses that will be spurred to action by transiting planets. When this happens there is a weather reaction over the areas that had the Sun and Moon in key positions at the time of the eclipse. Some of these weather reactions will be more important than others depending on other factors at work at the time of the eclipse or at the time the eclipse is triggered. Here are a few of the next triggers.




By the way, Super Typhoon Hagupit, that as we speak is threatening the Philippines, can be traced back to both the previous lunar and solar eclipses of last October. The weather patterns I'll be mentioning here, however, will not bring such severe weather.

December 16, 2014
The solar eclipse of April 29, 2014, is triggered by Mars. So, in the few days following the 16th, the area shown in the astro-locality map below should experience some stormy conditions. This is basically the eastern Plains.




December 19, 2014
Just a few days afterward, Mars will activate the solar eclipse of November 3, 2013. As can be appreciated from the map below, the same area of the country is affected. but due to other planetary alignments at this time, there's more to talk about.




From the 19th and into the next few days, besides expecting storms over the eastern Plains area, we can also expect severe weather to develop over the Front Range area farther (thanks, Gary) west where the Rockies meets the Plains. Other indicators point to the area in and around the Texas Panhandle. Even farther east, over the Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee area there are indications of severe weather developing at this time. And based on the same eclipse, there are indications of a front or low pressure system pushing into the Pacific Northwest and northern California and this time bringing precipitation.

December 29, 2014
At this time, two eclipses are triggered: the May 2013 solar eclipse by Mars, and the November 2012 eclipse by Jupiter. The first one affects the area from the Deep South into the East Central States and eastern Great Lakes, while the other one affects the eastern Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. At this time and in the days following, we can expect a front or low pressure area to develop over the eastern portions of the country and push over the Great Lakes as it transits from there through the Northeast. Due to other factors, the Rockies should see an invasion of cold air now which may trigger precipitation.

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. -C.S.Lewis

Thanksgiving Nor'easter

The recent Thanksgiving Nor'easter was a close fulfillment of the long-range forecast posted at the end of October. The forecast entitled November 22-25, 2014 East Coast Forecast told how November's New Moon was going to trigger the May 20, 2012 Solar Eclipse. As mentioned in that post, this eclipse meant the possibility of severe weather for the U.S. East Coast as shown in the astro-locality map below.


 In the past, this eclipse brought hurricane activity to the East Coast and sometimes heavy rain over the Carolinas as seen in this September 2014 post. That's what happened again around the 23rd and 24th of this month. The doppler radar for Nov. 23rd shows severe thunderstorms over that very area.


The forecast also mentioned that another possibility was that a front, running the length of the East Coast, would generate storms as it pushed eastward. The next Weather Channel map for the 24th shows the front approaching the East Coast.


I also mentioned that we should watch the East Coast area roughly between November 22-25. Well, on the 26th and Thanksgiving Day, a low pressure formed and traveled the East Coast from the Carolinas to New England and the Canadian Maritimes where, as a nor'easter, it brought rain and snow and caused power outages. See the Accuweather map below.

West Coast Storm Fulfills Long-range Weather Prediction

I posted a forecast entitled West Coast Weather: November 15-21, 2014 at the end of October. Due to certain planetary alignments as seen in the Last Quarter Moon chart of November 14th, I concluded that "The general idea is that a low pressure system or strong front will begin to affect the West Coast states during this time with the potential for heavy rainfall. This could drag on from a few days to a week it seems."

On November 18th, AccuWeather began to post that the first wave of a wet weather pattern would begin to affect the Pacific Northwest starting the next day. Then on the 19th, the National Weather Service warned that heavy rain was possible over parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast. They also warned of rain over Northern/Central California on the 19th as well as snow over the higher elevations.

Heavy rain, wind, freezing rain, sleet, and snow advisories were posted for Oregon on the 19th. Washington saw winter weather and wind advisories on the 20th. California and Nevada also had wind advisories posted on the 21st due to the storm system.

Here's a shot of the National Weather Service Radar for November 21st.

East and West Coast Forecast Results

At the end of September and beginning of October, I posted some long-range weather forecasts regarding weather systems that would affect the East and West coasts of the United States.

East Coast

The first period was that of November 8-13. One of the main charts I was looking at showed a planetary crossing over the Bahamas as shown below.



I mentioned the possibilities of a tropical system forming over the Bahamas and then affecting the Carolinas and East Coast, or just storms affecting the Carolinas and the East Coast.

Results

At this time a low pressure system developed over the area where the planetary lines cross in the above map. The next two weather maps for Nov 8 and 10 show this.





The Weather Channel reported on the 10th that rain, showers and some thunderstorms were possible in eastern North Carolina from an ocean storm in the western Atlantic. Then on the 12th they reported that an arctic front arrived affecting Virginia through New England with rain and snow.

West Coast 

The next forecast was based heavily on the following astro-locality map that placed planetary crossings over the West Coast as shown below.



I called for a significant storm system to affect California and the surrounding area between November 11-14.

Results

By November 10th, conventional forecasters began to warn of wintry weather that would affect the Pacific Northwest and northern California starting on the 12th as shown in the Accuweather map below.

Accuweather reported that a blast of arctic air would set the stage for a winter storm to threaten the Northwest. Gusty winds and January-like snow would accompany the storm, which they commented was a highly unusual snow and ice storm for so early in the season. I did expect it to hit further south. It was clearly detectable, however, way in advance by using the astro-meteorological forecast method.

I think the planetary cycles method of long-range weather forecasting is the best, but here's a very interesting article about how scientists are Using Animals to Build an Early Warning System for Natural Disasters (click the title) 

West Coast Weather: November 15-21, 2014

The planet Neptune in astro-meteorology is considered the pluvial planet par excellence. Under Neptune's signature the temperature rises and humidity increases. When Neptune occupies important positions in key charts, such positions portend downfall in excess of the seasonal average. For these reasons, it is worthwhile to turn our attention to the abovementioned period. Neptune, at this time, achieves its direct station meaning that from our position on Earth, Neptune appears to move forward in the heavens after over 5 months of retrograde motion.

One of the areas that will be affected by this change of motion and by other planetary alignments that take place shortly thereafter is the West Coast of the United States. As can be seen from the astro-locality map below a number of planets (Sun, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune) are in key positions over this portion of the country at the time of the Last Quarter Moon of November 14th.




Here's the way the timing takes place: On the 15th, the Moon will oppose Neptune (the vertical line in the above map). Then on the 16th, Neptune commences its direct motion. On the 18th the Sun and Saturn (the upper and middle white lines) form a conjunction. On the 19th, Venus (the lower white line) will align with Pluto (not shown).

The general idea is that a low pressure system or strong front will begin to affect the West Coast states during this time with the potential for heavy rainfall. This could drag on from a few days to a week it seems.

November 22-25, 2014 East Coast Forecast

The New Moon of November 22, 2014, falls in opposition to the Solar Eclipse degree of May 20, 2012. This will serve to activate the eclipse and the positions that the planets held at that time. These eclipse charts are valuable for long-range weather forecasters. So let’s try and determine what type of weather pattern will ensue at this time. The map below shows where the planets were rising, setting, culminating, and anti-culminating at the time for the eclipse.

 

We can see a number of planets congregated along the U.S. East Coast. This is where we should focus our attention roughly between November 22^nd and 25^th. In addition to this initial triggering of the eclipse, other planets will activate a couple of the original planets that run the length of the East Coast from Florida to New England. There are a few things we might expect from this setup. We may see a front that runs along the East Coast and generates storms as it pushes eastward. In the past the triggering of this eclipse has coincided with tropical systems along the U.S. East Coast. That is a possibility, although not a very likely one. We’ve also seen, in other instances, heavy rain due to tropical moisture even though there was no organized tropical system.

October 11, 2014 Forecast Results

Back in September of this year, I posted some ideas on what kind of weather the previous Mars-Saturn conjunction would bring when it was triggered by Jupiter on October 11th. Read the post here. The original conjunction on August 25, 2014, affected the western U.S. as shown in the astro-locality map below.


At that time there were heavy showers and thunderstorms in a number of western states due to a potent disturbance moving through the Rockies. There was also damaging high surf along the California coast much to the delight of local surfers.

In my forecast for October 11th, I expected a similar weather pattern to affect the Rockies and Great Basin with more intensity for Southern California possibly including rainfall, flooding, landslides, and coastal erosion.

Results

On October 10th and 11th, the National Weather Service began to post warnings for dangerous sneaker waves along the beaches of Washington, Oregon, and California. Sneaker waves are sudden and unexpected waves which can reach further up the beach than normal and sweep beach goers out to sea. These large waves were due to a strong storm in the Gulf of Alaska. The interesting thing is that there was also damaging surf along the California coast when the original Mars-Saturn conjunction took place in August.

The Gulf of Alaska storm also brought a cold front through the western states and gusty winds to Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Nevada, and Montana. The cold front did bring some showers and thunderstorms but no large-scale rainfall like I thought.

Typhoon Vongfong

One last interesting point that I didn't realize at the time of my post in September was that the Mars-Saturn conjunction also affected Japan as can be seen from the astro-locality map below.



So this area was also being affect on October 11th. From the 12th through the 14th, Typhoon Vongfong passed over the Japanese islands as shown in the AccuWeather map below.

Global Warming, the Scientific Method, and the Big Lie of Consensus (click here to read an excellent article by Joe D'Aleo)

October 6-8, 2014 Forecast Results

Here are the results of a long-range weather forecast published in mid-August of this year. The post Plains Forecast October 6-8, 2014 predicted a round of severe weather over the area in and around Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The forecast was based on and included the following map.



The NWS posted the following map valid for October 6th highlighting the very same area mentioned in the forecast.



In an Accuweather post for Monday the 6th, meteorologists warned "Little Rock to Nashville: Strong storms to Rumble on Monday." Their forecast called for the threat of strong T-storms bringing damaging winds, hail, and downpours due to a cold front diving southward into the lower Mississippi Valley. The resulting weather effectively fulfilled the long-range forecast posted over a month and a half ago. See the links below for more long-range weather forecasts.

Financial Collapse of the U.S. before September 13, 2015? 

November 11-14, 2014 California Weather

The period between the 11th and 14th of November features some important planetary alignments that historically have corresponded with stormy weather conditions. A number of key charts places these alignments over California and surrounding areas.

On November 12th, Venus will conjoin Saturn -- an alignment that typically indicates low pressure systems, eastery winds, and considerable downfall. Mars also squares Uranus on this date and indicates a clashing of warm and cold air masses resulting in more violent weather manifestations accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds. On the 13th, the Sun squares Jupiter, which adds disruption to the atmosphere due to heat. Below, is one of the key maps that shows the Venus-Saturn alignment crossing with the Sun and Moon over California. Other key maps are not shown.



Taken together, California and surrounding areas should experience the arrival of a significant storm system between the 11th and 14th of November.

Can God Create a Stone Big Enough that He Can't Lift It?

Atlantic Hurricane Season 2014: November

 We've found over the years that Solar and Lunar Eclipse charts offer important information when it comes to formulating long-range weather forecasts based on planetary cycles. The next Lunar Eclipse will take place on October 8, 2014. An interesting planetary configuration occurs along the U.S. East Coast involving the planets Venus and Pluto. The astro-locality map below shows how these planets converge over the Bahamas in addition to affecting areas from the Carolinas northward through New York.


This pair will be triggered into action by the planet Mars between Nov 8-10 this year. At the same time, other planetary alignments including the square of Venus and Jupiter, and the Mars-Pluto conjunction all affect this same area in other important charts used in long-range weather forecasting.

This period is followed by another round of severe weather-producing aspects on the 12th and 13th of November. These planetary alignments include the conjunction of Venus and Saturn as well as the  squares between Mars and Uranus, and the Sun and Jupiter. Once again important charts place these over the U.S. East Coast.

There are a number of ways this could play itself out on weather patterns. Between Nov 8-13 there is the potential for a tropical system to form or strengthen over the Bahamas and be drawn up over the Carolinas continuing its path along the East Coast as it affects the Northeast and New England areas. Another scenario would be that an actual tropical system does not form but that tropical moisture is drawn up over the East Coast and, in combination with other developing weather conditions, results in strong storms or severe weather conditions from the Carolinas through the Northeast and New England.

How a Solar Storm Nearly Caused a Catastrophe on Earth (Click title to read)

Nor'easter: Close Fulfillment of Long-range Prediction

In my May 20, 2014, post entitled East Coast Hurricane? September 2014, I listed September 20-23 of this year as a period when the East Coast U.S. could experience a tropical system or severe weather activity. The forecast read:

Sept 20-23
There are 3 planetary alignments working together now. Venus parallels Uranus, Mars squares Neptune, and Pluto makes its direct station. A number of key charts localizes these planetary pairs over the East Coast. What makes it more interesting is that Saturn will oppose the Solar Eclipse degree of May 9, 2013. This places Neptune over the East Coast as Mars makes its square.

AccuWeather headlines warn Nor'easter to Soak DC to NYC, Lash East Coast With Wind and Flooding. They further explain that on Wednesday, the 24th, the highest risk for coastal flooding extends North Carolina to southeastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula. Then on Thursday, the 25th, the risk includes New Jersey and the New York City area. Generally, 1 to 2 inches of rain are expected from eastern North Carolina through southern New England with 4 inches occurring locally along with 35 to 45 mph wind gusts. This closely fulfills the above forecast posted over 4 months ago. The AccuWeather map below gives an idea.

The Fine Tuning of the Universe

September 14-15, 2014 Forecast Results

At the end of last May, I posted some possible dates for hurricane activity. I mentioned the period around September 14-15 of this year because the previous Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 was being activated at this time. That eclipse had a history of producing some tropical systems. Although I wasn't expecting a devastating system, I thought it was worth watching at this time.

Back in 2012, I mentioned some areas in the U.S. that were to be affected by the eclipse, as I mentioned in that post, those were the areas in and around South Carolina, and the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

Here's what transpired around September 14-15. No tropical systems affected the areas mentioned. The NWS weather map below for September 13th shows North and South Carolina highlighted for the possibility of flash flooding due to a front and low pressure system. The next day, the Weather Channel reported, "Some of the rain could be locally heavy from South Carolina to northern Florida and the northern Gulf Coast."




As far as the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. was concerned, AccuWeather showed a front and showers affecting those areas during the forecast period.

Destroying the Dollar a Penny at a Time 

September 7-10, 2014 Forecast Results

The May 20th, 2014 Weather Alternative post talked about possible tropical activity or severe weather to affect North Carolina, Virginia, and the East Coast areas between September 7-10. The East Coast did experience severe weather at this time. Although it was not due to a tropical system, the combination of tropical moisture and a disturbance moving along a frontal zone provoked the rainfall. The AccuWeather map below shows the area from Florida through North Carolina as the target for heavy downpours on the 6th.




The area from Virginia through Maine was also subjected to heavy thunderstorms with damaging winds and flooding downpours on the 6th as seen in the next AccuWeather map.



On the 8th, AccuWeather reported that rain would continue to drench the East Coast into Tuesday, the 9th. The Weather Channel map for the 8th shows a low pressure area and stationary front over the Carolinas.



AccuWeather's Hurricane Expert, Dan Kottlowski, explained that the feature was not likely to develop into a tropical system. The rounds of heavy rain and flash flooding, AccuWeather said, would creep from the Carolinas through the Mid-Atlantic area. All in all this long-range weather forecast accurately described the weather scenario over 3 months in advance.

Eisenhower warns us of the military industrial complex

October 11, 2014 Western Weather Woes

From time to time we've looked at the effects of the Mars-Saturn conjunction on the weather. We've seen how some of the most energetic weather patterns come on the heels of Mars-Saturn conjunctions. Windy, destructive storms attend the conjunction and other hard aspects such as the square, opposition, and parallel. I’ve also shown how when these conjunctions are later triggered by the outer planets (Mars through Pluto), severe weather patterns ensue over the same areas initially affected by the conjunction.

These conjunctions take place about every two years. The last one was the conjunction of August 25, 2014. The astro-locality map below shows the area of the U.S. the conjunction affected.

The day after, on August 26^th, the Weather Channel reported that heavy showers and thunderstorms affected Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nevada with torrential downpours, flash flooding, damaging wind gusts, and hail. This was due to a potent disturbance that moved through the central Rockies closely fitting the position of Mars-Saturn in the astro-locality map. As can be seen from this map, the Mars-Saturn line passed through southern California which at this time also experienced damaging high surf, very strong rip currents, and coastal flooding. Check out the Accuweather map below and the waves in the second pic.

On October 11^th of this year, Jupiter will activate the disruptive Mars-Saturn conjunction activating the same area covered in the astro-locality map above. At this time, there will also be a Venus-Uranus opposition that will affect the West Coast States (map not shown). This opposition normally coincides with lower ranges of temperature, wind, and rain. When overlaying the two maps together, they both affect the southern California area suggesting a severe weather pattern there. So, around the 11^th of October the West Coast States, Great Basin, and Rockies should be subjected to a similar weather pattern that affected the central Rockies around August 25-28 this year. Southern California may be in for a more intense weather pattern than the other areas. This could mean increased rainfall, flooding, landslides, and coastal erosion.  

The Climate Prediction Center, as of September 4, 2014, has issued an El Niño Watch meaning that the chance of an El Niño forming this fall and winter is at 60-65 percent. El Niños affect the storm tracks over the western U.S. pushing them southward toward Southern California. The above planetary analysis may be indicating such a southern trajectory during the days before and after October 11, 2014.

Tropical Storm Cristobal and Mexico Results

In an August 23, 2014 post entitled "The Track of Future Tropical Storm Cristobal," I suggested a possible track that the storm would follow if it developed. My suggestion was based on the Solar Eclipse of November 25, 2011 which was being activated on August 25th. As seen from the astro-locality map below, the track passed through the North Carolina coast and northward.




The following Weather Channel map shows that by the 27th, Hurricane Cristobal was not directly  following the line shown above but paralleling it offshore.

At the most, the effects on the weather for the area near the eclipse line were rough surf and breezy conditions. The Accuweather map below points this out.


In and earlier forecast posted on July 7th of this year, I explained how certain planetary alignments over the Yucatan of Mexico could be indicative of the formation of a tropical system between August 24 through 27. The astro-locality map below shows the area in question.



On the 25th, the Weather Channel reported that the Gulf of Mexico was now an area to watch. By the 27th, they reported that thunderstorms were flaring up over the Southern Gulf near the Yucatan which would then feed into a surge of moisture, which by the 28th brought drenching showers and rough surf to Texas. Accuweather is now reporting (although later than I expected) a tropical wave to affect this area as shown in their map below.

The Track of Future Tropical Storm Cristobal

Meteorologists are expecting conditions to become more conducive for the low pressure area over the Caribbean Islands to develop into Tropical Storm Cristobal. Some even think that the system could intensify into a hurricane. The Accuweather graphic below suggests the possible tracks that it might take if it develops as expected.




The Solar Eclipse of November 25, 2011 may have something to offer regarding the storm's track. On August 25th, this eclipse will be spurred into action by the New Moon that takes place on the same day. Then on the 26th the position that Mercury held at that time will also be activated by other factors. As shown in the astro-locality map below, this pinpoints the area along 77 west longitude which passes through the North Carolina coast and then northward indicating a possible landfall over North Carolina. There is always a chance that this particular planetary alignment might signify some other type of severe weather condition that develops over 77 west longitude.

The Coming "ISON" Comet (click to read)

Plains Forecast October 6-8, 2014

A potentially dangerous weather pattern appears to be indicated by a number of astro-locality charts for the period in and around October 6-8, 2014. The main chart is posted below and shows a crossing of planetary influences over the U.S. midsection based on the First Quarter Moon of October 1st of this year. The crossing falls over the area comprising Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.



At this time the Sun's opposition to Urnaus, the Venus-Pluto square, and other planetary alignments involving Mercury and Mars, suggest an invasion of cold air that creates atmospheric instability with the likely result being strong storms or a front that brings severe weather to this region.
