INTRODUCTION
Severe weather is always a concern not only for the general public but for those idyllic vacation spots as well. In this report the weather is described not for just a few days, but for months into the future. Only the system of astrometeorology can project this kind of information. The weather story for spring 2009 carries the description 'extreme' once again and deserves the graphics headlining this report. In the winter report, the words used were 'a brutal winter season' and the media made brutal a buzz word by February and March.
The work of an astrometeorologist is to forecast weather any time into the future using techniques that were developed hundreds of years ago, along with modern discoveries as well. The information models are very different from the scientific one. With the vagaries of weather systems and a variety of climates across the USA, understanding weather is a must in order to apply the information in a constructive and serious manner to the general public. Many sources of information try to develop a long range forecast such as any of the Farmer's Almanacs or local ones. Either there are no wind indications, or an accounting of hurricanes.
The bottom line, however, is for the individual or the business owner to be prepared, to be advised of severe weather that would take place in their region. Too often we hear the phrases such as "I never thought it would happen to me". Living in a climate subject to tornados is proof enough of the necessity of being prepared. Hurricanes are part of the general climate because of our USA coastline in the southern regions. Knowing how many storms may come your way in the six month season is very helpful and, I think, should motivate one towards preparedness.
HURRICANE INFORMATION
The US Weather Service hurricane season officially begins June 1, 2009 and their six month long period projects the number of storms based on statistics. Little good that does when their numbers change several times during the season. Meteorologists cannot achieve long range weather forecasts for more than a few days; what good is a six month projection, I wonder. The printed report I prepare is unchanging during the season.
Last year, the 2008 Hurricane Report projected twenty storms and there were sixteen named storms arriving at the times indicated on the report. After a few weeks of quiet weather at the end of the season, Hurricane Paloma raged across Cuba. The hurricane was noted in the report but you must keep in mind that the report was prepared more than six months prior to the storm.
This year, 2009, the models are showing tropical weather very early on, even before the official start of the hurricane season in June. Click here to purchase the 2009 Hurricane Report for yourself, your group, or a friend who lives near the coast.
EARTHQUAKE STUDIES
An ongoing study on earthquakes has proved to be successful using the principles of long range forecasting. A 6.3 magnitude quake occurred Dec. 18, 2008 at the location for which the forecast was written. The report contains the seismic forecast through September 2010 describing weeks that are potent for activity or more calm. If the technique sustains itself during this time, then Mother Nature's code will have been broken.
ASTROMETEOROLOGY
Astrometeorology, the system used in this report was first practiced about 1,000 years ago by the ancients and improved upon in the days of Kepler and Goad. The 20th century produced more information and technique from George J. McCormack and C. C. Zain. With the advent of computers and the internet, I have improved the methods and can now produce an accurate daily forecast for a location. Through the newly released long range weather course, astrometeorology is being studied on every continent.

According to Webster's Dictionary, Astrometeorology is defined as the investigation of the relation between the sun, moon, and stars, and the weather. An Astrometeorologist is one who studies and forecasts the weather using Astrometeorology.
The tools of the trade or the models used in this weather report are the charts, maps, and graphs. Take a moment to look at the information and the easy to follow commentary. There is nothing else like it anywhere else.
ACROSS THE USA - NATIONAL TRENDS
The long range forecast of a brutal winter was accurate. Freezing cold and snow events brought misery to many. The marine influence on the west coast brought enough moisture to create mud slides in California and in Washington State, cold and warm air fronts brought rain and snow and flooding more than once. Storm after storm dropped tons of snow and ice across the country with some large areas enduring long blackouts
Spring 2009 will have its share of severe weather events. How does the weather look for Tornado Alley? With all the snowfall, will flooding be a problem? Springtime is usually a moisture laden season and that will be the case again.
UPCOMING TRENDS FOR SPRING
The winds will be horrendous up through tornado country. Flooding in some locales and the drying winds in other places. Dramatic weather over Tornado Alley assures the intense fronts will develop into extreme twisters. Residents in this section of the country will be on double alert as there will be more than the usual expectation of tornados.
Earthquakes will continue to be a problem globally because the models have a more intense configuration for the next three months and actually through 2015-17.
In the USA northwest corner, Washington can expect the usual wet weather systems in early spring. Gradual warming will melt the abundant snowfall and cause flooding problems with the additional rain that will at times be torrential.
Southern California and the southwest states will also experience a gradual increase in rain that will bring flooding to this area. The southwest states have a pleasant weather influence early in spring, sunny, dry and cool. However, the breaking storms will dump plenty of rain and wind as the season develops.
Aggressive thunderstorms will dominate in Texas only to carry their destructive nature up through Tornado Alley. The accumulated energy combines with more difficult weather systems to bring on a season that could match one of the worst twister seasons in history.
Along the Florida Gulf Coast, rising temperatures and humidity sounds very pleasant, but a bit uncomfortable so early in the season. In fact, there is intensity in the area that points to early tropical storms, even a hurricane due to unseasonable wind activity.
The northeast will take time to warm up. Expect cool conditions overall with plenty of weather that comes from the intense storms in the middle of the country.
Our base of forecasters is increasing due to the sales on the long range weather course, first released in May 2008. Click here to see what the weather course has to offer. The weather course has been mailed to students around the world and they will soon join the ranks of students of the written course and the on-line weather course in the late 1990s. Be sure to visit other weather sites where similar techniques are employed.

Many were surprised at the amount of snowfall here in New England and the fact that winter began weeks earlier than in previous years - all accurately recorded in my winter report.
Springtime in New England will be excitedly embraced by all who are looking for a bit of warmth and plenty of sunshine. However, the models indicate a slow and gradual warming for spring or in other words a cooler spring along with plenty of rain.

WEEKLY SUMMARIES for New England and the Northeast
The following forecasts contain weekly summaries describing the dominant weather for each 7-8 day lunar period. Not all weather events are described. Daily forecasts are available - see below.
Wednesday, March 18 - 25, 2009 Quarter Moon
A low pressure system in the middle of the country will reach the north east bringing rains and many clouds. Overall a mixed week. Lovely days with bright sunshine will be enjoyed by all even if the number of days is very small.
Thursday, March 26 - April 1, 2009 New Moon
A revolving door of temperatures with very cold air to start and a low pressure system to follow. Rain, intense and violent wind and more clouds bringing April 1st rain. The only saving grace is that temperatures begin to rise during the week.
Thursday, April 2 - 8, 2009 Perigee April 2
Wet 'n wild. Blustery conditions. Thunderstorms to aid the flowers not the citizens, for most of the period. It's cool but not freezing. The worst of the storm should be north of New England.
Thursday, April 9 - 16, 2009 Full Moon Easter April 12
The turbulence continues to roll in along with windy conditions and intense thunderstorms. Waterspouts or tornadic cloud formations may be present. This period is warmer and fast moving fronts keep us guessing. Easter Sunday should be mostly fair - Sun and clouds with a hint of moisture.
Friday, April 17 - 23, 2009 Quarter Moon
The pattern of storms is changing. The fast moving fronts are subsiding and after initial showers, the weather turns warmer and finally a feel of spring that lasts a few days. Slight chance of rain remains along with chilly temps.
Friday, April 24 - 30, 2009 New Moon Perigee April 28
Increasing warmth and high humidity identify this period. Wind and rain approach our region at the end of the period, along with thunder and lightning.
Friday May 1 - 8, 2009 Quarter Moon
Spring rains fall with cooler temps. Random T-storms throughout the region. Humidity is on the rise as the warmer air feeds in. Heavier rain to the south and west of New England may signal flooding or tropical moisture.
Saturday, May 9 - 16, 2009 Full Moon
Enjoy the full Moon in clear, dry weather. More spring rain and warming during the week but without the intense storms. May 16-17th showers.
Sunday May 17 - 23, 2009 Quarter Moon
Weather systems from the mid west approach New England after doing considerable damage and leaving a path of destruction. Here, heat and humidity are present. Dense fog pervades coastal places. Localized torrential rain with flooding potential is a concern. This week's expectations are also colored by the word 'extreme' and on the perimeter of a perigee period.
Sunday May 24 - 29, 2009 New Moon Perigee May 26
Below average temps, rain and wind from a low pressure system headed our way. Flooding is making headlines in many locations in the US.
Sunday May 30 - June 7, 2009 Quarter Moon
There is a strong wind factor and combined with fast moving fronts bring warnings of thunderstorms and the formation of a low pressure system. Fine spring weather days are also available during this period - enjoy them in between the inclement weather. There is a chance of a cold/freeze June 4-6. It is possible that a late spring frost could affect our new plants - take heed when planting.
Sunday, June 7 - 14, 2009 Full Moon
We are near the end of the spring season and one wonders where the hot temperatures are hiding? This week we should be able to enjoy a few very nice days along with some humidity, the signs of summer. Mostly Sun and clouds and hopefully one of the better weeks.
Monday June 15 - 21, 2009 Quarter Moon SuperMoon June 22
Erratic weather pictures are showing up on the models. Windy cold fronts will create severe thunder storms and the wind will be forceful in southern New England. Coastal areas may also encounter a super fog.
HINTS FOR SUMMER WEATHER 2009
Weather for 2009 carries many indications that fit the word 'extreme'. Overall, the summer will be cooler than normal and moisture will be a problem in many forms. Humidity to flooding rain and strong winds - we know those are ingredients for tropical storms. Where will they be prominent? For your copy of the six month report, please click here.
TERMINOLOGY
*Perigee periods, as noted in the forecasts, occur when the Moon is closest to Earth every month. The trend for weather is toward intensification with the stronger gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth at this time. The tides will be higher and lower than normal near the exact date, plus there will be an increase in the wind activity. When the Moon is at perigee and at the same time it is also a new or full Moon, it is called a 'SuperMoon'.
A syzygy is a situation where three celestial bodies are positioned along a straight line. The term is also applied to each instance of New Moon or Full Moon when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition, even though they are not precisely on one line with the Earth.
**SuperMoon is a term coined by Richard Nolle, Astrologer. He defines the SuperMoon as a perigee-syzygy; namely a new or full moon which occurs at or near (within 90% of) perigee. Check his website for the complete list of SuperMoon dates..

 Meteorology even with the aid of weather satellites, computers and modern high-speed communication facilities, never will succeed in dealing intelligently with anomalies of weather beyond the actual time and progress of the phenomena.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Can anyone do something about the weather? Yes! Forewarned is forearmed. In this free report, weather is summarized for each of the 13 weeks of the entire season. The national highlights report scans the potential weather systems that will affect the season and the local New England report has more detail.
We can give credit to meteorologists and the U.S. Weather Service for their fine work with statistics and current weather reports; however, they continue to be weak in the area of long range forecasting and hurricane movement as witnessed during that season.
The report you are reading has been created from methods that were used hundreds of years ago, tools that include the natural cycles of the Moon, Sun and planetary positions. Forecasting weather 3 months, or 3 years into the future is doing something about the weather.
Doing something about the weather is possible if you know the forecast months or a year/s in advance. Many corporations pay dearly for the long range information that is available from the company started by Dr. Irving Krick. Check this website to read the books http://www.weathersage.com/texts/boesen2/ and this website to see where his company has gravitated. http://www.planalytics.com/app/corp/start.jsp
