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)
