Review: The general trends for Spring 2009 across the nation were forecast accurately. Severe tornado outbreaks were headline news for months. A cool and wet spring was forecast for New England where I live and was not appreciated. Will summertime bring easier weather instead of the disastrous weather trends? If wishing could make it so, then I would wish everyone the most pleasant summer ever, however, the same fast moving fronts will play an active role once again in our weather over the season. An idyllic summer is but a dream in most places.

NORTHWEST

Early summer sets up a warm to hot drying time with the suggestion of fire hazards.
Turbulent weather fronts will roll into the west coast early in the season. Flooding aspects are still strong as well as air pollution problems (smoke or smog) in parts of Washington down to California. The many tropical storms that will form in Mexico will track to the southwest at various times. Mostly Washington and Oregon will have windy thunderstorms and not drying out until late August. September brings severe storms.

ROCKIES

Over the Rocky Mountains, the general trend will be the level of moisture – it should be cooler than average with moisture laden systems a regular visitor to the region. The Denver area looks to have one heck of a snowstorm in early September.

MIDDLE USA

There are not a lot of good things to report in middle USA. The tornado season that usually slows down in summertime continues on with violent and howling wind storms. Very difficult weather events here and actually for many across the states. Overall, the fast moving fronts will keep the weather changing and are driving a lot of the weather for the season ahead. Read on.

At a conference in Ohio in May the weather was analyzed for the area which could include the lakes as well. The indications were for the fast moving windy fronts – thunderstorms – that would keep major heat waves down to just a few days in duration.

SOUTH

Extreme weather conditions and many ingredients for hurricane soup are prominent for the Gulf Coast and the south giving the idea that there is an early start to the hurricane season. Tropical systems in May and early June flooded parts of Florida – it was an accurate spring forecast.

Systems off the coast of Africa have already been seen with more to come from this area producing many storms.

Our base of forecasters is increasing with learning astrometeorology by means of the long range weather course, first released in May 2008.  Other professional and practicing astrologers have joined the ranks of weather forecasters as well.  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 develop forecasts and offer them to the public insuring this list will grow.  Be sure to visit the weather sites where similar techniques are employed.

According to Webster’s Dictionary, Astrometeorology is defined as the investigation of the relation between the sun, moon, and planets, and the weather. An Astrometeorologist is one who studies and forecasts the weather using Astrometeorology.

The US Weather Service hurricane season officially began 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. When meteorologists cannot achieve long range weather forecasts for more than a few days, does their six month projection have any value? It is an empty forecast, a qualified guess at best. The printed report I prepare is unchanging during the season and has accurate information.

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 friends and family who live near the coast.

You won’t find a wind report from the meteorologists. Here is a free sampling of the astrometeorological wind report for June 2009 on the velocities in Florida followed by the month of June forecast and results through June 20th.

The wind is one component in the hurricane soup ingredients and the wind is never mentioned in almanacs or in the National Weather Service reports. The almanacs are hard pressed to even mention a hurricane – very weak reports overall. A model used for forecasting wind velocity can determine the strength of the wind over the course of a period of time. If a high velocity wind indication combines with a weekly storm forecast, the hurricane soup begins to bubble. Many of the weeks ahead have a strong forecast for wind. Keep in mind that wind alone is but one ingredient – a storm must have a combination of other factors. Also note that there are periods of time when the wind is calmer or simply nebulous (without sustained force or velocity). Overall you can see there are few average or calm periods this season.

WEEKLY WEATHER SUMMARIES INFORMATION Hunting the Hurricanes 2009

SAMPLE: According to my analysis, 19 to 20 storms are expected during the 2009 hurricane season. Each weekly bulletin, 7-8 days long, includes a description the observable weather for much of Florida. Hunting the hurricanes that will develop in or travel to nearby waters is the main focus.

Moisture levels can be found in a model that follows the Moon and that information is combined with the model for wind velocity. Several other models are used but not defined in this report. Based on the written descriptions of weather, you can expect 80 to 100 percent accuracy.

Of the four major Moon phases, the expectations of the quarter Moons leads the way for inciting more weather activity. The full Moon is often a dry time. The new Moon has brought enough hurricane events to be wary of development during this phase.

Hurricane Report Saturday May 30, 2009 Quarter Moon

Hurricane soup ingredients are all in this week’s model. Rain, wind, turbulent fronts colliding and the potential for flooding. The Gulf waters are heating up early in the season and should produce a tropical weather event. Florida may receive the after effects of the storm brewing to the west.

Results:
May 28 – unnamed tropical depression confirms forecast (see introduction) of early storms. The same storm tracked over to the Azores.
For the period – the forecast is accurate. Serious flooding in parts of Florida.
From the Weather Channel – a swirl of weather off the west coast of Florida produced copious amount of rain (no record of the wind was found).

Hurricane Report Sunday, June 7, 2009 Full Moon

Wringing wet humidity is very uncomfortable. Relief comes later in the week.
Strong weather activity is in the Gulf closer to Mexico. Hurricane potential is developing in the eastern Pacific down Mexico way. And, hopefully, the Weather Channel will show the convection that erupts off the coast of Africa.

Results:
Heavy weather off Central American coast.
June 8 – low pressure forming off MX coast (far off shore). Lots of showers in Florida. No tropical development.
June 12 – Unsettled over islands, Puerto Rico. Convection over Dominican Republic, not a named storm. Tracking a system out in central Atlantic. The weather in the Northeast USA was dismal and gloomy for several days due to the weather system that was unmoving in the eastern Atlantic – the convention off the coast of Africa – the forecast is accurate.

Hurricane Report Monday, June 15, 2009 Quarter Moon

Look for more seasonable temperatures in Florida for this time of the year. Cooling breezes and pleasant weather is available to enjoy.

The weather action takes place in the northeast this week and be sure to watch for more turbulent weather conditions off the coast of Africa.

Results:
According to Accuweather.com the temperature stayed close to seasonable with precipitation almost every day. Headline news re: rain in the northeast – fulfilling an accurate local spring weather report. No report re: coast of Africa.

Hurricane Report Monday, June 22, 2009 Full Moon Perigee June 23

Typical weather for this time of the year, Florida has a strong round of thunderstorms to contend with and plenty of clouds to follow. Then sunny, warm, and humid weather in Florida.

There is a flare up of tropical weather in the Atlantic further north than anyone would think. Destructive weather forces at work in Mexico.

Review: Spring 2009 A cool and wet spring was forecast for New England – it is where I live and was not appreciated. Will summertime bring easier weather instead of the disastrous weather trends? If wishing could make it so, then I would wish everyone the most pleasant summer ever, however, the same fast moving fronts will play an active role once again in our weather over the season. An idyllic summer is but a dream in most places.

Summertime doesn’t bring much improvement as the same fast moving fronts continue. July seems to have somewhat better conditions than August, but overall the season will not be one of the best for vacationing and entertaining. 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. I don’t expect any tornados or earthquakes here in the northeast, but the threat of hurricanes is strong for August. Extreme weather has been the norm for 3 seasons and for many more to come.

Local Winds Summary for New England, Summer 2009

The model for wind performance is a chart cast for a period of time which can describe the velocity of the wind. The winds are never mentioned in popular Almanacs or in the National Weather Service reports. The Almanacs are hard pressed to even mention a hurricane – very weak reports overall. A model used in this system for forecasting wind velocity can determine the strength of the wind over the course of a period of time. If a high velocity wind indication combines with a weekly storm forecast, the storm is more intense. Many of the weeks ahead have a strong forecast for wind, but keep in mind that wind alone is one ingredient – a storm usually has a combination of other factors. Also note that there are periods of time when the wind is calmer or simply nebulous (without sustained force or velocity). Overall you can see there are few average or calm periods this season.

WEEKLY SUMMARIES for New England and the Northeast

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.

Monday June 22 – 29, 2009 New Moon **SuperMoon June 22

Clouds and cooler temperature begin the period. Squalls and downpours during this week. The flooding indications are present, but more prominent in the Atlantic and through New Foundland. Strong winds on the 26th. These weather conditions are hurricane soup ingredients but would not have a grip in New England this early. There has been one tropical system in the Atlantic in May. This could be the second system to flare up.

Monday, June 29 – July 6, 2009 Quarter Moon

Initial indications are for a dry start, rain soon to follow. A good chance for a hot and fair day on the 4th of July; the Sun is trying hard to shine and moisture is present therefore humidity is in the forecast. This week is very much the ‘mixed bag’ of weather indications. Thunderstorm activity is strongest on the 1st and 6th of July.

Tuesday, July 7 – 14, 2009, Full Moon eclipse

Copious amounts of rain with strong potential for flooding, perhaps record setting conditions from the Carolinas up through Maine. Low pressure system with plenty of wind forms around the 10th of July.

Wednesday, July 15 – 20, 2009 Quarter Moon

A good week for vacationing. Fair, mild and warm to hot temperatures. High pressure is with us for most of this period with just a few isolated showers as the week feeds in and again on the 20-21st. The showers are from the edge of turbulent and windy weather going through the Mid-Atlantic States.

Tuesday, July 21 - 27, 2009 Solar Eclipse 29 degrees Cancer SuperMoon July 22

High pressure battling low pressure – who wins? High pressure is stronger at times and I think dominates the weather this period. However, the conditions are present for a period of disorganized weather. Extremes are present as well. Watch for super high and super low tides. Get out the clam rakes and have fun on the best days during the week – tune in your local TV mets, when the weather arrives they will give you the forecast.

Tuesday, July 28 – August 4, 2009 Quarter Moon

A mixed week of precipitation and clearing – the fast moving fronts are in play for a while, then a more steady rain in the middle of this period plus nasty humidity.

Wednesday, August 5 – 12, 2009 Full Moon eclipse

Vigorous thunder storms are on the horizon. The winds will dry out the landscape then the weather turns and become more tropical, perhaps a tropical storm of our own or the leftovers from a tropical system. Boaters beware!

Thursday, August 13 – 19, 2009 Quarter Moon

The battle of high and low pressure once again dominates the weather scene. Rogue thunderstorms with very strong winds and a flooding potential (surrounding states take the brunt). A hurricane threat is strong for the Gulf and the Atlantic. It is possible that the storm would track to New England.

Thursday, August 20 – 26, 2009 New Moon SuperMoon Aug 20

Stormy conditions again are making August the month NOT to take special vacations.

Tempestuous winds highlight this new Moon Period. Because of the SuperMoon influence, the disaster has double the potential for damage.

Thursday, August 27 – September 3, 2009 Quarter Moon

Trouble abounds for southern New England. Dismal gloomy weather is very strong along with tempestuous winds, a weather event that began during the last period, the SuperMoon phase of the Moon.

There are two weather conditions vying for prominence. One is a fair, warm, dry and breezy weather condition but what may be stronger is a low pressure storm system left over from the full Moon phase. Fog, clouds to begin. Due to hot and cold fronts in the area, a Tstorm is not out of the question. Humidity plays a part in this location.

August 28-30th 2009 – Forecast for a wedding at the Elizabeth Islands off the coast of Massachusetts. You may be dealing with the remnants of a tropical storm or hurricane, but it looks like you will dry out in time with only localized scattered T-storms as a concern.

Friday, September 4 - 10, 2009 Full Moon

Residual effects of turbulent weather. Clearing clouds with breaks of Sun. Fog is strong along the coastline. Cold front moves in bringing T-storms near the 11th.

Friday, September 11 - 17, 2009 Quarter Moon

Fine summer weather – what’s that? Memories are made real this period. A chance of a shower as we continue to experience fast moving fronts. There are indications of strong winds approaching and the showers may be associated with a tropical system. The tropical depression or hurricane warnings may be appropriate for this period. (edited 6/20/09)

Friday, September 18 – 25, 2009 New Moon

Locally our weather is mild and cool but storm warnings mid period. High pressure should help us here initially. There is a nasty lineup of weather indications over Denver and Middle America for the 17-18th. It is a very disturbing pattern of energy resulting in national news headlines. This is a record setting event. Early snow is likely but a fierce tornado is still possible. This same weather system would give us the storm warnings mid period.
