National Weather Highlights

Local Weather for New England

INTRODUCTION

In this report, weather events are described for an entire season. The weather highlights across the nation are trends for a 7-8 day period and the New England report gives more detail. How can one person possibly forecast so far in advance of the actual weather one might ask? With the use of older methods of forecasting, an astrometeorologist can observe natural cycles of the Moon and aspects of the planets which in the past have proven to have a high rate of accuracy. There is roughly 80% to 90% accuracy for what is reported here and there is 90-100% accuracy for a purchased daily weather report in a specific location. Hurricane season begins June 1st and it will not be mediocre. A detailed report for Florida is available.

The 'tools of the trade' include the graphics that are displayed here. Take a moment and look at the information and the easy to follow commentary.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS for the USA SPRING 2007

Note abbreviation: Southern California = SoCal
Disclaimer: The following forecasts are general summaries for various regions within the dates provided. Not all weather is reported.

Springtime in the USA is usually a beautiful season with the awakening of the land and the promise of renewal and growth. After completing the long range forecast for New England and the northeast only to find a less than interesting season, I was hoping for a similar report the rest of the USA. However, weather is more dramatic for the west coast.

It is hotter and more dry in many regions suggesting that damaging fires will be above average this season.

The west coast seasonal model suggests a more windy season than normal. Early spring will continue with stormy events but taper off to a more temperate and normal growing season.

Over the Rocky Mountains and into the plains, after a very cold start, the growing season will be excellent. Temperatures may be below normal for part of the season and dry conditions will exist - not good news for some of the fire prone areas.

Middle USA will have an excellent growing season. However, not so fortunate will be the increase of tornados and intense weather events for Tornado Alley. The storms actually began early at the beginning of March.

The Great Lakes region is more of a mixed season of the elements.

The greater southeast USA includes Tornado Alley that has the higher expectation of tornado activity. It will be a gradual warming for this region. Many fronts will combine to bring the turbulent skies.

The mid-Atlantic states will also be somewhat cooler than normal. Early storms and precipitation change to more moderate and average temperatures but also it will be more dry for the rest of the season.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS WEEKLY OBSERVATIONS

The weekly summaries include the dominant weather trend during the 7-8 day period; not all events are detailed. Accuracy percentages are variable.

Sunday, March 18-24, 2007 Solar Eclipse 28 degrees Pisces **SuperMoon  *Perigee Mar 19

The approach to the official start of spring has the punch of a winter storm. On March 21-22, the eastern third of the nation will have severe weather marching in.

Sunday, March 25-April 1, 2007 Quarter

Windy conditions plague the western part of the country. There is cold air over the Rockies and plenty of sunshine in the central states.

Monday, April 2-9, 2007 Full

Seismic activity along the west coast; very dry conditions. More cold temperatures, perhaps setting a record for the Rockies. Rain at the mid-Atlantic states dampens spirits.

Tuesday, April 10-16, 2007 Quarter **SuperMoon April 17th

High pressure and cooler temps for the west coast - windy conditions continue as well as seismic rumblings. Over the Rockies extreme winds may cause damage. After a bit of rain, middle USA is basking in sunshine and mild temps.

Tuesday, April 17-23, 2007 New **SuperMoon April 17th

The west coast has had an abundance of weather and this period will be no exception. Three weeks of seismic rumblings? High pressure and very hot temps are in the forecast. The northwest coast is subject to strong winds and seismic activity as well. Middle states will need to prepare for windy rainstorms. Ohio and the lakes should receive heavier to flooding rains. The southeast will deal with rain and clouds.

Tuesday, April 24-May 1, 2007 Quarter

Weather energy comes to the west coast in full force this period. The northwest coast has mostly a dry period but one aggressive and wet system will push through. The middle states and the Great Lakes regions should be warming nicely with a share of unsettled skies and precipitation in between very fair days. At the southeastern states, the rain will come in with thunderstorms, typical for this region.

Wednesday, May 2-9, 2007 Full

Turbulent, stormy weather continues to bombard the northwest states. The normally dry southern California has precipitation in the forecast. If the downfall is substantial, then a danger of mudslides exists. Inland in the California valleys and the southwest in general will see extreme temperatures. The Rockies will experience some very fine weather, but some areas are very dry and lightning strikes could bring unwanted sparks. At mid-period, rainy days for the Great Lakes and a good part of the southeastern state, at best, a mixed week of elements for these areas.

Thursday, May 10-15, 2007 Quarter *Perigee May 15th

Extreme weather energies once again are along the USA west coast. The dry conditions in some areas will trigger bush fires. Also in this period heavy, drenching rains could trigger mud slides. In the Phoenix, southwest region it will be dreadfully hot. Middle USA is hot and dry. The clouds and precipitation will affect the southeast but more a mixed week of weather.

Wednesday, May 16-22, 2007 New **SuperMoon 16th

An unsettled atmosphere, fluctuating temps, and a strong marine influence along the west coast is expected. A mixed week of sun and rain at the Rockies. Middle states can expect a mixed week, strong wind storms along with very fine spring weather. The southeastern states are also threatened by severe and damaging winds and odd electrical failures.

Wednesday May 23-30th, 2007 Quarter

Very dry and windy conditions will affect soCal. It will be warmer than average. Strong winds over the Rockies. The center of the country will encounter very hot temperatures and dry conditions. A mixed elements period of rain and clouds is in the forecast for the southeast, perhaps up through Illinois along with warm and sunny days.

Thursday May 31-June 7, 2007 Full and ***Blue Moon!

The seismic rumblings are strong along the west coast. High pressure and fine spring weather will prevail in the middle states. It will be early summertime with very warm temps in the great lakes. The southeast has extreme wind velocities and will also experience much warmer temperatures.

Friday, June 8-13, 2007 Quarter *Perigee June 12

Moisture struggles to come into the west coast but the models are showing more dry than wet. High pressure sets in and extremely dry conditions over the Rockies can lead to environmental damage. The winds pipe up at the Great Lakes region. Cooler and thunderstorms in the southeast may have severe lightning. Tropical influences are in the forecast.

Thursday, June 14-21 New

Hot and dry along the west coast; stronger winds inland nearer northern California. The Rockies are a tinderbox. Relieving rain should fall in central USA and more aggressive thunderstorms in the gulf states. Heavy rain in the southeast states and tropical weather is in the news.

NEW ENGLAND AND THE NORTHEAST USA

Previous forecast highlights: Winter 2006-7 is a season that will produce mixed weather events. Mild to average temperatures overall with the variety of precipitation as noted in the weekly detail. The wind is mostly above average throughout most of the season, allowing the wind chill factor to come into play on the very cold wintry days.

There is not a lot of interesting weather for the spring season. It will be good to have rather ho-hum seasonal weather, to relax rather than worry about major storms. Looking ahead to hurricane season brings the information of many storms developing for Florida. Will any of the storms travel to the northeast?

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.

Sunday, March 18-24, 2007 Sol Eclipse 28 deg Pisces **SuperMoon*Perigee Mar 19

The approach to the official start of spring may still have the punch of a winter storm. With any luck the storm will veer from our location. The models are calling for tropical influences but would bring us a thaw from the last period perhaps with fog or rain.

Sunday, March 25-April 1, 2007 Quarter

Here we have strong indications for a beautiful week of weather but a potent storm is lurking as well. One storm has passed on to the east of us and another storm is formulating off the west coast. Watch for showers near the 27th and again April 1st when it cools down and the wind picks up.

Monday, April 2-9, 2007 Full

After the heavy rain April 1-2 ends, it will be fair, Sun with clouds, most of the week. Look for showers and windy thunderstorms near the 10th.

Tuesday, April 10-16, 2007 Quarter **SuperMoon April 17th

We are caught in the middle of several fronts. There will be stormy weather to begin the week. Fair weather pulls through for a good part of the period.

Tuesday, April 17-23, 2007 New **SuperMoon April 17th

A mostly fair and mild week, warming nicely. On or near the 22nd a front moves through bringing wind and showers.

Tuesday, April 24-May 1, 2007 Quarter

A typical mix of New England weather is on tap for this period. Temperatures will fluctuate greatly with a turbulent atmosphere that produces windy thunderstorms. There will be spring showers and a bit of idyllic spring season weather that will be welcomed by all no matter how brief.

Wednesday, May 2-9, 2007 Full

Many cloudy and rainy days with cool to moderate temps. The gloomy days outnumber the fair days this week. Pea soup fog may cause problems.

Thursday, May 10-15, 2007 Quarter *Perigee May 15th

The dank and discouraging weather continues with more precipitation on the way. The models are indicating a reprieve at the end of the period with a nice climb up the thermometer.

Wednesday, May 16-22, 2007 New **SuperMoon 16th

Cool and gloomy weather is on tap for just a while longer. By the 19th the pattern is breaking up and more Sun and dry conditions are forecast. A fast warming up with humidity levels very high. Possible shower on the 22nd.

Wednesday May 23-30th, 2007 Quarter

Periods of clouds and Sun this period. It is an improvement from the past weeks. Showers are likely on the 28th. Pleasing springtime temperatures.

Thursday May 31-June 7, 2007 Full and ***Blue!

It's getting close to summertime. It is hot, hot, hot!! The models are bringing the very warm weather to the fore. Hot, humid, beautiful. Oppressive in some areas. Windier more to the south.

Friday, June 8-13, 2007 Quarter *Perigee June 12

Fair, warm and breezy. Cooling and a chance of showers 10-12th.

Thursday, June 14-21 New

Dry and breezy to windy. Then cool and foggy with grey days, rain on the 18th. Mild to warm and mostly fair as spring melds into summertime.

***Blue Moon

A bit of folklore over the years reveals interesting facts for a blue Moon. There are historical examples of the Moon turning blue. When the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded in 1883, its dust turned sunsets green and the Moon blue all around the world for the best part of two years. In 1927, the Indian monsoons were late arriving and the extra-long dry season blew up enough dust for a blue Moon. And Moons in northeastern North America turned blue in 1951 when huge forest fires in western Canada threw smoke particles up into the sky. http://skytonight.com/observing/objects/moon/3305141.html?page=1&c=y

HINTS FOR SUMMER and HURRICANE SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Temperatures in the northeast should hover at what is average with a number of cooler than average days. Mid-August holds a severe heat wave that will incite much speculation about global warming. The hurricane season for Florida and the region will not be mediocre. There are a number of storms that can be destructive for mainlanders and mariners.

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..

CREATING THE LONG RANGE FORECAST

Many hundreds of years ago, astrologers (who were also the first astronomers) would predict future weather events. Over the years, those who had a strong interest in weather forecasting have followed the teachings and have left behind a legacy of information. The modern Astrometeorologist is grateful to have this firm foundation. Modern scientific oriented meteorologists insist that long range weather forecasts are not possible or reliable. It is obviously true for them, but this weather report continues to prove otherwise. In addition, the Old Farmer's Almanac claims to have the secrets to weather forecasting, yet they did not forecast one single hurricane for the 2004 season and only one for 2005 that failed to materialize on the date or location. In time, the Astrometeorologist will be called upon to fill the gap in long range forecasting.

The long range weather forecast is created using many old techniques. The ancients were able to forecast weather dating back to texts from the 1500s. Today, Astrometeorologists forecast weather using the Moon's position in relation to the distance from earth, planetary configurations and natural lunar cycles. The models used by the ancients are recreated and improved upon each year, producing weather reports unlike any other. In addition, a weather website and a weather list are available to everyone. The many features on the website may interest those who enjoy weather information. Look for the free on-line books, and other resources.

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

This report is free and contains local long range weather forecasts for the entire 3 month season for New England, plus a section on national weather highlights. Be sure to click on the useful and informative graphics where more information is available.
