38th Season
The power and the beauty of natural cycles are truly fascinating. With the help of this free long range weather report you may be able to plan ahead. Many plan vacations around the weekly summaries. Imagine - if long range forecasters ( for months and years into the future) had the tax dollars and the manpower to research the successful long range models that are available now, and how that would impact daily life!
My forecasts are created from the old and the newest techniques available to the Astrometeorologist who is a person who forecasts weather using the Moon, planetary influences and natural cycles. The models used by the ancients are recreated and improved upon each year. Ahead you will find a weather report unlike any other. In addition, a weather website and a weather list have been created. The many features on the website may interest those who have an interest in weather. Look for free on-line books, and resources.
Long range forecasts for future special events, weddings, festivals or other social or business dates are available for the individual or business. What´s the ‘weather´ in your life?

*Perigee periods, as noted, occur when the Moon is closest to Earth in its monthly cycle. The weather trend is to intensification of the weather with stronger gravitational pull (higher and lower tides) plus an increase in wind activity. When the Moon is perigee and the Moon is new or full, plus the Moon is in high declination degrees, all at the same time, it is labeled a Super Moon. Intense weather and seismic events are found around the globe during this period.
**Three SuperMoons are found in the Fall 2003 lineup. The weather and seismic activity will be very strong close to the dates of October 25th, Nov. 23rd and Dec. 22nd.
Astrometeorologist
Meteorologists have improved their forecasting for a few days into the future. In fact, with a storm as large as Hurricane Isabel, the 5 and 7 day forecasts were also well done. The hurricane report I produced four months earlier in June provided the forecast of the hurricane during the September 18th 2003 lunar period. Isabel formed and made landfall at the Mid-Atlantic States, then brought her tropical rains to the northeast. Last year, the long range hurricane report indicated a hurricane over Cuba - that was Lily. The hurricane report of 2001 predicted no land falling hurricane and there were none.. Doing something about the weather! Is it possible? Yes.

NATIONAL WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS for Fall 2003
WEST COAST AND THE ROCKIES Parts of California will experience more rain than normal (in some cases, record setting amounts) during the season. Oct. 25th period and Nov. 23rd could experience rumblings or difficult weather both in north and south California.Heading over the Rockies, the weather is difficult for the region bringing in sudden storms and snow in higher elevations. Improving, more pleasant, weather can be found over the eastern Rockies in the areas of Montana south to western Texas most of the season. Bitter weather over the eastern Rockies for the Oct. 18-25th period and Dec. 8-16th. Wet and snowy over the Rockies for the Dec. 23rd holiday period.
MIDDLE AMERICA Unfortunately, unseasonable tornado activity will be present early in the season for the plains states. At the great lakes the influences are warmer; still intense, perhaps a slice of Gulf moisture travels up early in the season from the southern states for the Oct. 2nd period, the results of a tropical depression or extreme rain on the Gulf coast. More southerly in Kansas, Colorado, TX, expect flooding rains to continue during the week of the 10th Oct. South Texas and Florida have severe weather systems to contend with also for the same dates. Oct 25-31st will be very windy over central USA.
EASTERN USA At the top of the season, the trend over the eastern USA is warmer weather. Overall, however, the season is expected to average out to normal for the entire period except for the nor'easter described in the weekly summaries for the region.
INTERNATIONAL The world map displayed problems in Japan and Australia and were written up in the summer forecast. Those problems resulted in extreme drought in middle Australia and Japan experienced the direct hit of a potent typhoon.
This fall season indicates rough spots for the eastern coast of Africa where much trouble has been brewing for months. The east coast of Australia looks to have extremely warm weather, possibly record setting for their spring season. Mexico may be harshly affected by the tropical storms brewing early in the fall season
THE HURRICANE REPORT
SEPTEMBER
Hurricane season is still at peak mode for the full Moon period September 10 to 18th. The northeast will be watching a potent system brewing in the islands south of Florida. The track of the storm may skirt or bounce from Florida's shores. The indications for the northeast include flooding rains and very blustery to gale force winds. (what happened - Hurricane Isabel skirted the Bahamas and Florida and threatened the Carolina coastline as of Sept. 16th. The expected landfall will be the 18th and effects from the storm to hit the northeast 18-19th). Mexico sees another soggy storm pass over.The quarter Moon of September 18th has the stormy indicators in place for this week. The storm could develop in the western Gulf, steering over to the Florida peninsula. This storm could also find its way to the northeast, skirting the Carolinas. (results -the storm traveled west from Africa; landfall was made in the mid-Atlantic states and tropical rains poured on the northeast.)
The last lunar period for September is the new Moon, September 26th. This period is a Perigee time, September 28th. Fine weather in parts of the northeast but low pressure in the Atlantic is evident producing rain along the coast.
OCTOBER
Moisture laden systems are active each of the 4 weeks of October and will dump huge amounts of water in the WSW Gulf and near Central America region.Florida will be affected by these water systems at the new Moon Oct. 25th period.

REGIONAL
New England and the Northeast USA
As predicted in the summer report, New England experienced peculiar, extreme and unusual weather patterns. It was the rock 'n roll unexpected changes that dominated and the period of Aug 12-20th was a great vacation week.
The fall 2003 season will bring beautiful days throughout 6 of the 13 week season. It will be mostly dry with enough rain mixed in to avoid drought. There will be mixed weather conditions for four of the 13 weeks. Intense wind events are also expected; see the weekly summaries for more detail and the hurricane report. Leaf peepers should find full viewing pleasure over the holiday weekend. A nor'easter is expected for the Dec. 16th period.
Local Winds Summary for the Northeast, Fall 2003
The last period this summer through Sept. 20th have the winds involved in stormy conditions and continues through Oct. 7th. With the wind so intense for this period of time, it follows that it increases the degree of damage when hurricanes are formed and close to land. (see the weekly summaries for more information locally and the hurricane report for other locations).From the 7th of Oct to the 24th the wind continues to have periods of higher than average velocity, but more normal winds overall. The next period through Nov. 12th will produce variable winds. More calm winds from Nov. 12th to Dec. 2nd except for the Nov. 23rd period. Ending the fall season Dec. 2 to 21st. will find the winds will be slightly above the average velocity for this time of the year, notably for the Dec. 8th and 16th periods.

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.
