Results of East Coast Nor’easter and Southern California Storm

In a long-range weather forecast posted last December 13th, I gave my take on the noteworthy weather that I thought would affect the East and West Coasts between the 19th and 25th of January. Let’s see what happened.

 East Coast

My forecast relied heavily on the October 23rd 2014 solar eclipse which was now being activated and previously had produced, according to astro-meteorology, a Nor’easter over the U.S. Northeast and New England. One scenario I suggested was a low pressure area over the Carolinas that would then strengthen and move northward to the Northeast and New England with potential to develop into a   Nor’easter. On the 23rd and 24th as can be seen in the Accuweather map below, a low developed and passed over the Carolinas becoming a major winter storm that affected the Northeast and New England.  Accuweather’s headline was, “Major Snowstorm May Hit I-95 Corridor From DC to NYC, Boston.”  




Now, what’s coming on the heels of that is another major blizzard that starts to affect the Northeast and New England just a day after my forecast period ended on the 25th. That is to say that on the 26th, a blizzard will, in the words of Accuweather, shut down Boston and the New York City area. The next Accuweather map shows the extent of the storm.




West Coast

Due to certain planetary aspects I envisioned a storm system over the area, especially Southern California. Now, I thought that this storm system entailed moisture, which is desperately needed there, however, there was no precipitation. Because of Mercury’s retrograde station, which is a wind-breeding influence, my forecast also called for windy conditions as far south as Southern California. The windy conditions over Southern California were what did materialize.

 Starting on the 21st and continuing through the 25th, the National Weather Service began to post wind warnings for Southern California. Their posts warned of locally gusty winds, and strong and damaging winds, or what are known as Santa Ana winds. Fox news reported more than 54,000 customers who were affected by power outages in the Los Angeles area due to fierce Santa Ana winds that toppled trees and knocked down power poles across the area. The area was also besieged by dangerous rip currents and high surf due to a storm system in the Pacific Ocean. Below is a picture of high surf crashing over the Southern California coast on the 24th.

Wet and Windy West Coast January 28-31, 2015

West Coast inhabitants should prepare for strong winds and heavy rain between the 28th and 31st of January. According to the long-range weather forecast method employed by Johannes Kepler, the 17th century mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer, the planetary alignments at the end of January spell weather woes for Washington, Oregon, and California.

The forecast is based on alignments between the Sun and Mercury, as well as Venus and Saturn. The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury has been observed by astro-meteorologists to excite wind velocities and cause atmospheric turbulence when these occupy key positions in astro-locality weather maps. At the same time, Venus will form a quadrature to Saturn. Long-range weather forecasters have found this alignment to coincide with low pressure systems and heavy downfall. The astro-locality map below, shows how these members of our solar system congregate over the West Coast states and form a "crossing" over northern California.

December 2014 Forecast Results Part II

The last forecast of the December 2014 forecasts focused on December 29th and the following few days. I mentioned that two solar eclipses were being activated by the transits of Mars and Jupiter. Consequently, we were to look for a weather reaction in the form of a front or low pressure system over the Great Lakes and Northeast. I also mentioned an invasion of cold air over the Rockies.

The first AccuWeather map below from December 27th shows blustery conditions setting in over the Great Lakes area and headed eastward on New Year's Eve.



The invasion of cold air mentioned in the forecast for the Rockies is shown in the next AccuWeather map. This map covers the period between December 29th and 31st. Notice that the core of the cold is over the Rockies.
