Weathersage: Fall 2008 Weather Forecast

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.

Crash and bang, the fall season opens with moderate temperatures and fair weather that may change to a storm watch. The humidity builds then heavy rain and very windy conditions may be out to sea but still affecting our coast. A hurricane watch is not out of the question.

Breezy fair weather for part of the week gives over to cooler, more blustery weather with showers. A mixed week with the same potential for a low pressure storm.

This week, the season is looking very much like the pattern of weather in summertime – T-storms and rain changing to really fine fall weather for most of the holiday weekend. Be on the lookout for a passing shower on the 12th. The observation is that we are sandwiched between a cold front coming along but high pressure is blocking the front, letting warm moist air in the area.

Cooler, breezy conditions arrive. Rain falls mid-period yet a number of fine fall days are mixed in. Seasonal fog and mists may prevail in the mornings.

The October forecasts have been very similar from week to week. For this period, a more stormy forecast. Heavy rain for various locations. The pattern persists where warmer air days intersperse with clouds/rain. There is a tropical air mass offshore.

Humid and warmer than normal. Sunny and breezy days. Unstable fronts will bring rain, possibly heavy. Indoor parties for Hallowe’en might be a good alternative to being outside.

Mild temperatures begin to decline to become cooler to downright cold this month. Turbulence is over our area. It will be windy, rainy and cloudy and alternating a few fair days with Sun giving warmth for short periods.

Cloudy, humid conditions combine with dealing with a cold front. An early snowfall is showing up on the models for parts of the northeast and we may dodge the big bullet with just a taste of it. The intensity of a SuperMoon could set new records in parts of the northeast.

The storm clouds move off but the winds remain; temperatures will fluctuate from warm with some humidity to cool. The week should see both fair days and also Sun and clouds as well. Heavy rain 26th or 27th, next period.

It is a rough week for getting around. Cold and dry. High pressure flirts with low pressure – which front wins? Flurries or actual snow will fall by Dec. 5th. Mild temperatures may slide in during this mixed and tense weather week. Be prepared for changing weather almost on a daily basis.

Did you like last week’s weather? Here is more of the same for this period. More communications issues. Please drive carefully. Severe weather fronts form and cold precipitation falls – snow, in abundance along with strong winds – that usually makes blizzard conditions!

New England is in store for more snow and stormy sessions. Very cold temperatures will make it seem that winter has arrived much too early.

A white Christmas is already here with all the snow we've seen so far this season. Severe storms are nearby and headed our way to bring more of the white stuff. We may be lucky to escape the brunt of it. A rain and snow mix along the east coast. The colder northeast will have snow.

You can welcome milder temperatures at the official start of winter, December 21st, 2008. The first few weeks of the season may completely baffle the weathermen after the series of storms in the late fall. Nevertheless, the astrometeorologist has models that can forecast well into the future. Thank you for reading the report.

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..

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.

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

The long range weather forecast is created using many very 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.
