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.
